Answered by admin @


The correct answer is A. It is subjective

Explanation:

In 1943, the recognized psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed a theory to understand and classify human needs. The work of Maslow included five different categories to classify all basic needs, psychological needs, and self-esteem needs; additionally, in this, Maslow proposed individuals need to satisfy the needs of previous levels to satisfy more complex needs. For example, the first level includes physiological needs such as hunger and these are necessary to get to more complex needs such as the need for safety or self-satisfaction.

This hierarchy is still used all around the world to understand human needs; however, it was been widely criticized because the classification itself is related to Maslow's perspective as this was mainly based on Maslow's ideas about needs, which makes the hierarchy subjective. Also, due to its subjectivity,  the hierarchy may apply only in some individuals or societies.
