Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These most basic human survival needs include food and water, sufficient rest, clothing and shelter, overall health, and reproduction. Maslow states that these basic physiological needs must be addressed before humans move on to the next level of fulfillment.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Maslow, humans strive to meet their needs in a predictable order or hierarchy, as shown in figure 3. 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: -Physiological needs are the most basic of Maslow’s hierarchy. These are the essentials people need for physical survival. Examples include air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep, and health.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abraham Maslow’s pyramidal “Hierarchy of Needs” model is a highly-influential way of organizing human needs from the most “basic” to the most advanced. Maslow’s argument is that the most basic needs must be met before people can move “up” to the more advanced needs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Maslow’s quote refers to self-actualization, which is the highest level or stage in his model of human motivation: the ‘Hierarchy of Needs’. According to the hierarchy of needs, self-actualization represents the highest-order motivations, which drive us to realize our true potential and achieve our ‘ideal self’.
