According to Maslow, an adult is likely to take care of which of the following needs first?

A) A steady income
B) A romantic relationship
C) Discovering one's true potential
D) Obtaining the respect of one's peers

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the basic physiological needs such as food, water, shelter, and a steady income are the most fundamental needs that an individual will seek to satisfy before moving on to other needs such as love, esteem, and self-actualization. Therefore, choice A (a steady income) is likely to be a higher priority for an adult than the other options given.
