According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which of the following is listed as highest in the hierarchy?

Esteem
Safety
Physiological
Self-Actualization

The correct answer is: Self-Actualization

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, self-actualization is the highest level in the hierarchy. This means that after basic needs like physiological needs (such as food and shelter) and safety needs are met, a person can achieve their full potential and reach self-actualization. Esteem needs, such as feeling respected and valued by others, are important but are not considered to be as essential as self-actualization. Similarly, while safety needs are important for survival, they are considered to be lower in the hierarchy compared to self-actualization. Therefore, the highest level in the hierarchy according to Maslow is self-actualization.
