Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that individuals have five different levels of needs, arranged in a pyramid shape. The levels, from the bottom to the top, are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Amir's desire to be appreciated for his work efforts indicates a need for esteem, which is the fourth level in the hierarchy. Esteem needs involve feeling respected, recognized, and appreciated for one's accomplishments and contributions. Thus, choice B, esteem needs, is the most appropriate answer.
