Zeke gave a persuasive speech about why people should assist homeless people in his city in order to prevent crime. According to Maslow, this speech appealed to which basic need? A. Physiological B. Safety C. Social D. Self-esteem

The answer is B. Safety.

Explanation:

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, usually represented as a pyramid, is composed of five levels. Each one of these must be satisfied in order to attend further needs.

Safety needs are the second level of the hierarchy, immediately after physiological needs. Safety needs involve anything that provides health and secutiry to a person, such as a job, money and housing. The following levels are love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization needs.
