✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's D-needs and B-needs
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, human motivation is divided into two primary categories:
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): These are located at the lower levels of the hierarchy (physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem) and arise due to a deprivation or lack of something. When these are fulfilled, the individual's tension or motivation decreases.
- Growth Needs (B-needs): These are located at the top of the hierarchy (such as self-actualization) and do not stem from a lack, but rather from an inner desire to make life meaningful and to utilize one's full potential.
Thus, option B correctly captures this fundamental psychological distinction.
