ANeeds for the respect of other people
BNeeds for security against the unexpected
CNeeds for belonging, friendship, and love
DNeeds for fulfilment and personal growth
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Needs for belonging, friendship, and love
1. The first two levels, physiological and safety, are the physical needs.
2. Once those are satisfied, attention moves to needs that involve relationships with other people.
3. The third level therefore holds social needs, which are needs for belonging and for giving and receiving friendship and love.
4. Informal social groups on and off the job help people satisfy these needs.
5. Respect of others is an esteem need at the fourth level, and fulfilment is self-actualization at the fifth.
6. Security against the unexpected is a safety need at the second level, one step below.
