Which of the following is NOT one of the five elements of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs?

Self-actualization

Safety

Belonging

Intrinsic motivation

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that prioritizes the basic needs of humans in order to achieve a state of self-actualization, or reaching one's full potential. The five elements of this theory are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Intrinsic motivation, which refers to the internal desire to pursue goals without external rewards, can be considered a part of self-actualization needs. However, it is not one of the five specific elements listed by Maslow. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it is not included in the hierarchy of needs. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they are all included in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
