Physiological needs are needs that relate to the body and include food, water, air and sleep.

• A. Safety needs
• B. Physiological needs
• C. Social needs
• D. Esteem needs

Answer: (B)

Physiological needs are the body’s most basic survival requirements. They cover essentials like food, water, air, and sleep, and they form the foundation of motivational models—people focus on higher-level needs only after these basics are met. That’s why this description fits best: it directly identifies the body-related, survival-focused needs. Higher-level needs such as safety, belonging, and esteem come into play once the physiological needs are satisfied, so they’re not what this statement emphasizes. In hospitality, recognizing this helps you prioritize fundamental comfort and nourishment for guests and ensure a safe, well-rested environment for staff, before addressing additional satisfaction factors.
