✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow categorized the sources of motivation in his hierarchy of needs into two main types: Deficiency Needs (D-needs) and Growth Needs (B-needs).
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): These arise due to deprivation and include physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem needs. Once satisfied, their pull diminishes.
- Growth Needs (B-needs): Self-actualization falls under this category. It does not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow, develop, and realize one's maximum potential as a human being.
- Continuous Motivation: Unlike D-needs, B-needs like self-actualization are never fully satisfied; rather, achieving personal growth tends to make the individual strive even further.
Therefore, option B is the correct and scientifically accurate statement.
