Question : Which of the following is not a need category in Maslow's hierarchy?
Option 1: Physiological needs
Option 2: Security needs
Option 3: Belongingness needs
Option 4: Recognition needs
Correct Answer: Recognition needs
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Recognition needs.
Recognition needs are not explicitly identified as a separate need category in Maslow's hierarchy. However, they can be considered a part of the esteem needs, which represent the next level in the hierarchy. Esteem needs encompass both the need for self-esteem (feeling valued and confident in oneself) and the need for the esteem and recognition of others.
