In Maslow's hierarchy, which level is defined as Physiological Needs?

• A. Level 1: Physiological Needs
• B. Level 3: Relationships
• C. Level 5: Self Actualization
• D. Level 2: Safety and Security

Answer: (A)

Maslow's hierarchy starts with the most basic survival requirements, and these are grouped into the bottom level called Physiological Needs. These needs include essentials for living such as air, water, food, sleep, shelter, clothing, and reproduction. Until these needs are satisfied, a person’s attention naturally focuses on meeting them rather than on higher-level goals. That’s why the bottom level is identified as Physiological Needs. The other options refer to higher levels: safety and security is the next level up, relationships fall under social needs, and self-actualization sits at the top.
