• D. Born with

Answer: (B)

Respect is earned through your actions and how you treat others. It isn’t something you can simply claim because of status or birth, and it isn’t just a private feeling you hold inside. When you show consistency, honesty, listening, fairness, and consideration for others, people recognize that you value them and respond with respect in return. The material uses “earned” to emphasize that respect comes from demonstrated character and behavior, not from titles or innate traits.
