Arrange the following needs as per the order laid down by the Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory.

(A) Safety Needs

(B) Self Actualization Needs

(C) Affiliation Needs

(D) Esteem Needs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Orders as Safety, Self-Actualization, Affiliation, Esteem - this places Self-Actualization before Affiliation and Esteem, which violates Maslow's hierarchy.

Option 2 -> Orders as Safety, Affiliation, Esteem, Self-Actualization - this follows the correct ascending order of Maslow's hierarchy from basic to higher-level needs.

Option 3 -> Orders as Self-Actualization, Safety, Affiliation, Esteem - this incorrectly places the highest need (Self-Actualization) at the bottom.

Option 4 -> Orders as Affiliation, Self-Actualization, Esteem, Safety - this completely reverses the hierarchy and places Safety at the top.


Hence, Option 2: (A), (C), (D), (B) -> According to Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, needs are arranged from basic to higher-level: Physiological Needs, Safety Needs (A), Social/Affiliation Needs (C), Esteem Needs (D), and Self-Actualization Needs (B) at the peak. This option correctly follows this ascending order. -> correct
