In Maslow's hierarchy, which level is number 3?

• A. Physiological
• B. Safety
• C. Love and Belonging
• D. Self-Actualization

Answer: (C)

In Maslow's hierarchy, needs are arranged from bottom to top, starting with basic survival and safety, then moving to social connections. After physiological needs (like food, water, warmth, rest) and safety needs (security and stability), the next level focuses on love, affection, and belonging—forming friendships, family ties, and being part of a group. This is the third level. It captures the human drive to connect with others and feel accepted. Once these social needs are met, people typically pursue esteem and, later, self-actualization. So the level described is Love and Belonging.
