According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, what is the highest level need?

  1. Food and shelter

  2. Love and belonging

  3. Self-esteem

  4. Self-actualization

The correct answer is: Self-actualization

The highest level need according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is self-actualization. This means fulfilling one's potential, self-fulfillment, and personal growth. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they fall under the lower levels of the hierarchy. Option A, food and shelter, falls under the basic physiological needs level. Option B, love and belonging, falls under the social needs level. Option C, self-esteem, falls under the esteem needs level. These needs are necessary and must be met before an individual can focus on achieving self-actualization.
