AFood, shelter, and clothing for a family
BBelonging and acceptance by other people
CLiving up to one's fullest potential
DRespect of others and a sense of achievement
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Respect of others and a sense of achievement
1. Esteem needs sit at the fourth level of the hierarchy.
2. They are the needs for the respect of others and for a sense of accomplishment and achievement.
3. Satisfaction of these needs shows up in feelings of self-worth.
4. Praise and recognition from managers and others in a firm feed that sense of self-worth.
5. Living up to one's fullest potential is the fifth level, self-actualization, so it is one step too high.
6. Belonging is the third level and food and shelter are the first, so both sit below esteem.
