Answer 1

B. esteem needs

Step-by-step explanation:

• Human behavior is driven by needs, one of which is a need for a sense of personal importance, value, or self-esteem.
• Esteem should include confidence, strength, self-confidence, personal and social acceptance and respect from others. These requirements are indicated as one of the key stages of achieving satisfaction or self-interviewing.
• While respect is an intrinsic quality, we are influenced by external factors, such as recognition and approval from our peers. There are many different examples of designers tapping into our respected needs, many of which we can find on social media sites.
