List-I	List-II
Aspects	Type of needs
(A) Stability of income	(I) Safety/Security Needs
(B) Hunger & thirst	(II) Physiological Needs
(C) Self-respect & autonomy	(III) Affiliation/Belonging Needs
(D) Acceptance and friendship	(IV) Esteem Needs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Hunger & thirst (B matches with II)

These represent the most fundamental, basic bodily requirements necessary for human survival (along with sleep, shelter, etc.). In Maslow's pyramid, these form the foundational base and are classified as Physiological Needs.

2. Stability of income (A matches with I)

Once basic survival requirements are met, individuals seek protection from physical and emotional harm. A stable income provides economic security and predictability for the future, firmly placing it under Safety/Security Needs.

3. Acceptance and friendship (D matches with III)

Because humans are inherently social beings, the desire for affection, companionship, and a sense of community emerges after safety is secured. These relationship-oriented aspects fall directly under Affiliation/Belonging Needs (also referred to as Social Needs).

4. Self-respect & autonomy (C matches with IV)

After social needs are fulfilled, individuals strive for a sense of self-worth, achievement, and respect from others. Internal factors like self-respect and autonomy (independence), along with external factors like status and recognition, are key elements of Esteem Needs.

Conclusion:

The correct matching sequence is (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
