Arrange the following needs in correct order as per Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory.

(A) Esteem needs

(B) Affiliation needs

(C) Safety needs

(D) Physiological needs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> (D), (C), (B), (A) follows the correct ascending order: Physiological → Safety → Affiliation → Esteem, which aligns with Maslow's hierarchy from basic to higher-level needs.

Option 2 -> (A), (C), (B), (D) incorrectly places Esteem needs first and Physiological needs last, which reverses the hierarchy.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) incorrectly starts with Affiliation needs and places Physiological needs third, violating the fundamental structure.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) incorrectly places Physiological needs third instead of first, disrupting the basic-to-higher progression.

Hence, Option 1: (D), (C), (B), (A) -> According to Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, needs are arranged from most basic to highest level: Physiological needs (survival), Safety needs (security), Affiliation needs (belonging/social), and Esteem needs (recognition). This sequence represents the progressive satisfaction of human needs. -> correct
