Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is arranged in a pyramid where lower-order needs such as physiological needs (food, shelter, safety) and safety needs (security, stability, protection) are considered more basic and necessary for survival. A safe work environment falls under safety needs, which is a lower-order need. The other options, sense of belonging and social environment, fall under the higher-order need of love and belonging, and feeling of self-actualization falls under the highest level of the pyramid, self-actualization.
