Answer 1

D) social needs.

Explanation:

Social needs: In psychology, the term "social needs" is described as one of the different needs in the "Hierarchy of needs theory" which was introduced by Abraham Maslow. Safety needs refer to the needs that an individual desires to possess relationships with some other person once he or she met the safety and the physiological needs. Safety needs are also denoted as the love and belonging needs.
