Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Physiological needs are the lowest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. They are the most essential things a person needs to survive. They include the need for shelter, water, food, warmth, rest, and health. A person’s motivation at this level derives from their instinct to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -People’s physical and safety needs must be met before they can focus on their higher-order needs. Next, people need their social and self-esteem needs met.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met.

Detailed explanation-4: -Self-actualization needs are the highest level on Maslow’s pyramid of needs. These needs include realizing your potential, self-fulfillment, self-development, and peak experiences. Self-actualization is the desire to accomplish all that you can and unleash all your potential.

Detailed explanation-5: -From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up.
