APraise and recognition from a manager
BJob security and protection from hazards
CAcceptance by the rest of a work group
DWork that uses a person's abilities fully
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Job security and protection from hazards
1. Safety needs are the second level of the hierarchy.
2. People need to feel secure, to be protected from physical harm, and to avoid the unexpected.
3. In work terms that means job security and protection from work hazards.
4. Praise and recognition satisfy esteem needs at the fourth level, so that option sits two levels too high.
5. Acceptance by a group is a social need and full use of one's abilities is self-actualization.
