Explanation
★The correct order rises from biological to self-actualisation, so the answer is option D.
★Abraham Maslow set out the hierarchy in his 1943 paper 'A Theory of Human Motivation'.
★At the base are biological or physiological needs such as hunger, thirst and sleep.
★Next come security or safety needs, the wish for protection and freedom from threat.
★Then come social needs, the longing for belonging, friendship and love.
★Above them lie self-esteem needs, the desire for recognition, status and respect.
★At the top is self-actualisation, the drive to realise one's full potential, giving the order biological, security, social, self-esteem and self-actualisation.
