In Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which level represents the highest peak of human motivation?

Explanation

• Maslow’s model arranges human motivation into five hierarchical tiers: Physiological, Safety, Social, Esteem, and Self-Actualization.
• Self-Actualization is the drive to maximize personal potential, achieve individual growth, and accomplish self-fulfillment once lower-tier needs are satisfied.
• Lower levels (Physiological through Esteem) are classified as ‘Deficiency Needs’ (D-needs), whereas Self-Actualization is termed a ‘Growth Need’ (B-need).
