A need for change is a discrepancy between the current situation or performance level and the desired situation or performance level.

C is incorrect because behavioral occurrence does not necessarily imply a performance gap.

E is incorrect because organizational structural imbalance is a specific type of performance gap resulting from structural or organizational issues.
