Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation of Maslow's Hierarchy
According to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, the first four levels of needs in the hierarchy—physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, and esteem needs—are termed 'Deficiency Needs' (D-needs) because their absence produces physical or psychological deprivation.
In contrast, 'Self-actualization', located at the very top of the hierarchy, is termed a 'Growth Need' (B-need), which motivates individuals to maximize their inner potential and personal growth.
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): Driven by a sense of deprivation (levels 1-4).
- Growth Needs (B-needs): Driven by the desire for personal fulfillment and growth (level 5).
Therefore, option B accurately categorizes the needs according to Maslow's theoretical framework.
