Maslow's theory states that individuals first attempt to satisfy their basic physiological and safety needs before moving on to higher-level needs such as love/belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. This is reflected in option A. Option B refers to Alderfer's ERG theory, and option C is not entirely accurate as individuals may attempt to find alternative ways to satisfy a need rather than regressing to a lower level need. Therefore, option D is not correct.
