Answer
Security, Physiological
Explanation
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this is a comprehensive theory that describes the stages of personal growth. The hierarchy is often shown in the shape of a pyramid with more essential/critical needs near the bottom. The sections from the bottom we have Physiological > Safety/security need > Sense of Belonging (Love / Social). Hence, based on this learned theory both to be precise, the need for physiological and safety must be satisfied before the one has the need for Love, affection and the belongingness —acceptance and friendship. Thus Security and Physiological needs should be satisfied prior to the Sense of Bellevance aka Love and Social esteem. Here "Love" is equivalent to the sense of belonging and "Social esteem" seem an odd option that could be Mathlog's self-esteem and esteem from others but it falls in the wrong place in this list if we refer to Maslow's pyramid.
