a. safety
b. physiological
c. social
d. esteem
e. self actualization

Answer 1

-Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": esteem.

Step-by-step explanation:

American psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) is well-known for his classification of needs usually portrayed in a pyramid in hierarchical order starting from the base. According to Maslow, individuals could not escalate layers in the pyramid if they did not satisfy their basic needs first. The classification groups the needs in five (5) layers:

1. Physiological needs: air, water, food, clothing, shelter.
2. Safety needs: employment, resources, health, property.
3. Love and belonging: friendship, intimacy, family.
4. Esteem: respect, recognition.
5. Self-actualization: full potential achievement.

Therefore, Sara being recognized because of her outstanding performance and being promoted to store manager assistant fulfills her esteem needs.
