According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological needs (such as air, water, food, and shelter) and safety needs (such as personal security, financial security, health, and well-being) must be satisfied before a person can satisfy higher-level needs, including love and belonging needs. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as physiological and safety needs come before love and belonging needs in the hierarchy.
