- Self-esteem, Self-actualization, Physiological, Safety, Social.
Correct Answer

A. Physiological, Safety, Social, Self-esteem, Self-actualization.

Explanation

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the most fundamental needs are physiological needs, such as food, water, and shelter. Once these needs are met, individuals seek safety and security. After that, they look for social needs, which include the need for love, belonging, and friendship. Once social needs are fulfilled, individuals strive for self-esteem, which involves self-confidence and recognition from others. Finally, at the top of the hierarchy, individuals pursue self-actualization, which refers to achieving one's full potential and personal growth. Therefore, the correct order of the hierarchy of needs is physiological, safety, social, self-esteem, self-actualization.

It suggests that there are two routes to persuasion: the central route, where people carefully evaluate the message and its arguments, and the peripheral route, where people are influenced by peripheral cues such as the speaker's attractiveness or credibility. The ELM emphasizes the importance of motivation and ability to process information in determining which route individuals will take.
