Correct Answer: Statement 2 is correct, and statement 1 is incorrect.
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Statement 2 is correct, and statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is incorrect. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory categorizes needs into five levels, not four. The hierarchy includes physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.
Statement 2 is correct. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, social needs, such as the need for love, belonging, and friendship, come after physiological needs like food, water, and shelter. The hierarchy suggests that once physiological needs are met, individuals seek to satisfy higher-level needs, including social needs.
