Maslow's needs hierarchy includes two types of needs: deficiency needs and growth needs. The bottom four levels - physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem - are deficiency needs that must be met in order for an individual to feel satisfied and fulfilled. Self-actualization, the highest level, is a growth need that involves an ongoing process of personal development and fulfillment of one's potential. Therefore, the correct answer is C - deficiency and growth needs.
