Correct option is A
According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the correct order from basic to higher needs is: Physiological → Safety → Love and belonging needs → Esteem → Self-actualization. This hierarchy suggests that basic needs must be met before higher needs can be pursued.
Explanation of options: (a) ✔ Correct. This sequence follows the correct order from the most basic to the highest-level needs in Maslow’s hierarchy. (b) ✘ Incorrect. Esteem and self-actualisation are higher needs, and they cannot be satisfied before physiological and safety needs. (c) ✘ Incorrect. Self-actualisation is the highest need, so it cannot come before the basic physiological and safety needs. (d) ✘ Incorrect. Love and belonging needs come after physiological and safety needs, not before.
