Identify the correct sequence of needs as per Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory:

1. Safety and Security Needs
2. Physiological Needs
3. Esteem Needs
4. Affiliation Needs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) means Safety, Physiological, Esteem, Affiliation - this starts with Safety instead of Physiological needs, which is incorrect.

Option 2 -> (A), (C), (B), (D) means Safety, Esteem, Physiological, Affiliation - this sequence is completely out of order, placing higher-level needs before basic needs.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) means Physiological, Safety, Affiliation, Esteem - this follows the correct hierarchical progression from basic to higher-level needs.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) means Esteem, Physiological, Affiliation, Safety - this incorrectly starts with Esteem needs and places Safety at the end.

Hence, Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> According to Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, needs progress from most basic to higher level: Physiological Needs (food, water, shelter) → Safety and Security Needs (protection, stability) → Affiliation Needs (belonging, love, social relationships) → Esteem Needs (recognition, status, self-respect). This sequence correctly represents the hierarchical order. -> correct
