Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Both theories identify a hierarchy of needs, with higher-order needs being related to motivators (Maslow) or satisfiers (Herzberg), and lower-order needs being related to hygiene factors. Both also suggest that higher-order needs must be met before individuals are motivated by lower-order needs.
