Find the correct sequence of needs as given by Maslow in his Need Hierarchy Theory.

(A) Belongingness needs
(B) Safety and Security needs
(C) Self-actualisation needs
(D) Esteem needs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is (B), (A), (D), (C).

Abraham Maslow proposed the Need Hierarchy Theory of motivation, which organizes human needs into a pyramid structure from the most basic physiological requirements to the highest level of self-fulfillment. According to this theory, individuals must satisfy lower-level needs before they are motivated to pursue higher-level needs.

The correct order of Maslow's hierarchy from lowest (most basic) to highest is as follows:
1. Physiological Needs: Essential requirements for human survival, such as food, water, and shelter (not included in the given list).
2. Safety and Security Needs (B): Protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, and freedom from fear.
3. Belongingness Needs (A): Social needs involving friendship, intimacy, trust, acceptance, receiving and giving affection, and love.
4. Esteem Needs (D): Self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, and respect by others.
5. Self-actualisation Needs (C): Realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth, and peak experiences.

By organizing the given options from lowest to highest, we get the sequence:
Safety and Security needs (B) ⇒ Belongingness needs (A) ⇒ Esteem needs (D) ⇒ Self-actualisation needs (C).
Thus, the correct sequence is (B), (A), (D), (C).
