Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the assumptions of the ‘Need Hierarchy Theory’ given by Maslow?

Correct option is C

Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory proposes that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy and that an unsatisfied need motivates behavior. Once a need is satisfied, it stops motivating the individual.
Therefore, the statement: “A satisfied need motivates a person” is incorrect because a need ceases to motivate once it is fulfilled. This directly contradicts Maslow’s assumptions.
Thus, the correct answer is: Option (c)
