With reference to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, after a deep analysis of the ontological and functional differences between 'Deficiency Needs' (D-needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-needs), which of the following statements most accurately explains the psychological nature of these two categories?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, needs are broadly divided into two categories—Deficiency Needs (D-needs) and Growth Needs (B-needs). D-needs include physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem needs, which arise due to a deficit of something, and their fulfillment leads to a decrease in motivation or tension. Conversely, B-needs are related to self-actualization at the top of the pyramid, arising not from a deficiency but from an inner desire to develop one's abilities and become better, and fulfilling them expands rather than reduces motivation.
