  1. Fear of death

  2. Self-actualized life

  3. Fear of change

  4. Dependent personality

The correct answer is: Self-actualized life

In late adulthood, a healthy individual may have adopted a self-actualized life, which means that they have achieved their full potential and have a strong sense of fulfillment and purpose. Option A, fear of death, is incorrect because it is a common fear among older adults but it does not necessarily indicate a healthy mindset. Option C, fear of change, is also incorrect because while change can be intimidating, a healthy individual in late adulthood should have developed coping mechanisms to adapt to change. Option D, dependent personality, is incorrect because a healthy individual in late adulthood should be able to confidently make their own decisions and be independent.
