According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which of the following is true?

  1. Belongingness needs have the highest precedence

  2. Safety needs must be met before self-actualization

  3. Physical needs must be satisfied before belongingness needs

  4. Self-actualization needs must be met before esteem needs

The correct answer is: Safety needs must be met before self-actualization

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, safety needs must be met before self-actualization. This means that one must feel safe and secure before they can reach their full potential and pursue personal growth. While belongingness needs (the need for love, friendship, and social connections) are important, they do not have a higher precedence than safety needs. Similarly, physical needs (such as food, water, and shelter) are essential, but they do not need to be fully satisfied before belongingness needs. Lastly, self-actualization needs (the desire to reach one's full potential and achieve personal fulfillment) are considered the highest level of needs and must be met before esteem needs (the need for self-esteem, respect, and recognition from others).
