Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, basic physiological and safety needs must be met before a person can move up to higher levels of the hierarchy. Steven may have temporarily satisfied his self-actualization needs, but if his basic needs are not met, he is likely to return to a lower level in the hierarchy to address those needs. Option A is incorrect because he cannot move up the hierarchy until his basic needs are met. Option B is incorrect because if his basic needs are not met, it is unlikely that he can remain at that level. Option C is incorrect as he needs to address his basic needs before addressing his esteem needs.
