Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a foundational humanistic model of human motivation. According to this theory, human needs are arranged in a hierarchical order progressing from bottom to top: Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Belongingness and Love Needs, Esteem Needs, and finally the pinnacle need of Self-actualization.
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): The first four levels are classified as D-needs because their absence produces deficits or tension in the individual.
- Growth Needs (G-needs): The highest level, self-actualization, is considered a growth need driven by the desire for personal growth and fulfillment of potential.
Therefore, option B is the correct and scientifically accurate statement.
