Maslow's Level One refers to which needs?

• A. Self-actualization needs
• B. Physiological needs such as air, water, food, and shelter
• C. Safety needs
• D. Social needs

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, starting with the most basic survival requirements. Level One includes physiological needs—the essentials for physical survival such as air, water, food, shelter, and sleep. These must be satisfied before a person can focus on higher-level concerns. That’s why this option best fits Level One. The other options describe higher levels: safety needs (security and stability), social needs (belonging and relationships), and self-actualization (realizing full potential).
