The basic need second to bottom layer includes the need to feel secure and out of danger.

• A. Physiological Needs
• B. Basic Needs Category
• C. Safety Needs
• D. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Answer: (C)

Safety needs are the second-from-bottom layer in Maslow's hierarchy. They cover feeling secure, protected from danger, and having stability in life—think safe housing, reliable shelter, protection from threats, steady employment, and general security. After physiological needs like food, water, and warmth are met, the mind seeks safety before moving on to belonging, esteem, and growth. The other options don’t fit as well: physiological needs are the bottom layer, a vague term like Basic Needs Category isn’t a standard label, and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs refers to the overall theory, not this specific layer.
