Maslow's hierarchy of needs starts with the most basic physiological needs like food, water, and sleep. Then, safety needs follow like security, stability, and protection. Next, belongingness needs like relationships, love, and affection are prioritized. Esteem needs which include self-esteem, status, and recognition come after belongingness needs. Cognitive needs like knowledge, meaning, and understanding follow esteem needs. Aesthetic needs that include beauty and harmony are the next priority. The highest level of need is self-actualization which involves achieving potential, personal growth, and fulfillment. Finally, transcendence needs are related to helping others find their self-actualization. Therefore, option C represents the correct sequence of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
