Maslow's hierarchy includes higher-order needs such as

• A. Love and Belonging
• B. Self-Actualization
• C. Safety
• D. Physiological needs

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is distinguishing higher-order growth needs from the more basic needs in Maslow’s hierarchy. Maslow places physiological needs at the bottom, followed by safety, then love/belonging, then esteem, and finally self-actualization at the top. Self-actualization represents the drive to realize one’s full potential, pursue personal growth, creativity, and meaningful goals—these are growth-oriented needs that become motivational once the basic levels are reasonably satisfied. The option describing self-actualization is the best answer because it captures this highest-level, development-focused motive, whereas love/belonging, safety, and physiological needs are foundational or lower-order.
