A) physiological
B) safety and security
C) esteem

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that the most basic and fundamental need is physiological (such as food and shelter). However, in a situation such as a hurricane and flooding, the immediate threat to the residents' safety and security would override any other need. Therefore, choice B, safety and security needs, is the best answer.
