Question : Assertion: Esteem needs are concerned with gaining recognition and respect from others.
Reason: According to Maslow, esteem needs are more fundamental than physiological needs.
Option 1: Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option 2: Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option 3: Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Option 4: Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Correct Answer: Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Solution : The correct answer is: (c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Assertion is true. Esteem needs in Maslow's hierarchy refer to the desire for self-respect, recognition from others, achievement, and status.
Reason is false. In Maslow's hierarchy, physiological needs (such as food, water, shelter) form the foundational level, and they are more fundamental than esteem needs, which come after physiological and safety needs.
Therefore, the Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
