✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, motivation is divided into two primary categories:
- Deficiency Needs (D-Needs): These address basic deprivations such as physiological, safety, and belongingness needs. They operate on the principle of homeostasis.
- Growth Needs (B-Needs): These include Self-Actualization, which does not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow, develop, and reach one's full personal potential.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct scientific explanation regarding self-actualization as a growth-based need.
