A. instrumentally valuable if they help to satisfy your desires.

Explanation:

The Desire-satisfaction theory of welfare affirms that an individual welfare is the general level of desire-satisfaction in their individual life as a whole. The theory stated to us that your life goes smoothly for you to the point where you get what you want.

Something is excellent for an individual when it has been able to meet the needs and desires of that individual (Shafer-Laudau, The Fundamentals of Ethics, 39). In short, the more you’re able to meet your needs and desires then the better your life is, and when you are unable to, then your life goes poorly because your desires are now frustrated.

Explanation:

The first element of Desire Satisfactionism is a statement about the basic bearers of intrinsic value, positive and negative. On this theory, "The Good" is the satisfaction of actual desires, no matter what they are desires for; "The Bad" is frustration of actual desires, again no matter what they are desires for.

It is said

I. Every case of desire satisfaction is intrinsically good; every case of desire frustration is intrinsically bad.

It is a situation in which a person desires that something be the case, and it is the case.

Next, we need a principle stating the numerical value of each desire satisfaction, and each desire frustration.

Parfit then says, "How great these numbers are depends upon the intensity of the desires in question."

So, we will suppose that whenever we desire something, we desire it with a certain "strength" or "intensity". This gives the answer to the question 'how much do you desire that?' Maybe the strength of a desire can be measured by appeal to how much you would pay to get it satisfied.

In any case, if we assume that every desire has a certain intensity, which can be represented by a number, we can say this about the intrinsic value of the satisfaction or frustration of a desire:

The intrinsic value of a desire satisfaction is equal to the intensity of the desire satisfied; the intrinsic value of a desire frustration is equal to -(the intensity of the desire frustrated).

As a result, it is always intrinsically good for a desire to be satisfied, and always intrinsically bad for a desire to be frustrated, it is always intrinsically better for a stronger desire to be satisfied, and always intrinsically worse for a stronger desire to be frustrated.
