My answer is C.

I disagree.

I don't think that's right either. Check your reading assignment.

Please do not post this question again.

Definitely not food. I'd tend to go with B. I'm thinking Erikson's stages of development: first is trust. Next is autonomy and activity.

Correct! The correct answer is C. food.

To arrive at this answer, we need to understand Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that explains the different levels of needs individuals have and the order in which they must be fulfilled. These needs are depicted as a pyramid, with the most basic needs at the bottom and higher-level needs at the top.

According to Maslow, physiological needs such as food, water, and sleep are the most fundamental and must be met before any other needs can be addressed. These needs are necessary for our survival and, therefore, take precedence over other needs.

Safety needs, such as security, stability, and protection from harm, follow physiological needs in the hierarchy. Once an individual's basic physiological needs are met, they can then focus on satisfying their safety needs.

Therefore, in this question, the correct answer is C. food, as physiological needs, including the need for food, must be met before the person can have their needs for protection or any other higher-level needs met.
