Choose the correct order of need hierarchy given by Maslow.
(A) Self Actualization Needs
(B) Affiliation/Belonging Needs
(C) Safety Needs
(D) Esteem Needs
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) places Self-Actualization first and Esteem last, which reverses Maslow's hierarchy.
Option 2 -> (A), (C), (B), (D) incorrectly starts with Self-Actualization and doesn't follow the progressive order from basic to higher needs.
Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) places Belonging before Self-Actualization and Safety last, which contradicts the fundamental structure of the hierarchy.
Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) correctly orders the needs as Safety → Affiliation/Belonging → Esteem → Self-Actualization, following Maslow's progression from lower to higher-level needs.
Hence, Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Maslow's Hierarchy progresses from basic to complex needs: Safety Needs ensure security and stability, followed by Affiliation/Belonging Needs for social connection, then Esteem Needs for recognition and respect, and finally Self-Actualization Needs for realizing one's full potential. -> correct
