Julian · Answer 1

(A) safety needs

Explanation:

According to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, unsatisfied needs motivate people in a way that lower needs must be fulfilled first before attempting to satisfy higher needs. Thus, the bottom of the pyramid consists of physiological needs, then safety, social, esteem and self-actualization needs. As a result, Jared wishes to feel more financial security before achieving social recognition.
