List-I (Needs of Maslow's Theory)	List-II (Organizational Example)
(A) Affiliation/Belongingness needs	(I) Pension plan
(B) Self Actualization Needs	(II) Cordial relations with colleagues
(C) Esteem Needs	(III) Achievement of goals
(D) Safety/Security needs	(IV) Job title

(A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

(A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)

(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> Affiliation needs match with cordial relations (social connections), Self-actualization with achievement of goals (reaching potential), Esteem with job title (status/recognition), and Safety with pension plan (financial security) - this aligns perfectly with Maslow's hierarchy.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Affiliation needs with pension plan instead of social relationships, and Safety needs with job title instead of security provisions.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Affiliation needs with pension plan and Self-actualization with cordial relations, reversing the social and growth aspects.

Option 4 -> Completely mismatches all needs - places Affiliation with achievement, Self-actualization with job title, which contradicts the fundamental hierarchy.

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) -> According to Maslow's theory, Affiliation/Belongingness needs are fulfilled through social connections like cordial relations with colleagues, Self-actualization represents reaching one's potential through achievement of goals, Esteem needs are satisfied by recognition and status symbols like job titles, and Safety/Security needs are met through financial security mechanisms like pension plans -> correct
