Answer 1

Answer: physiological

Explanation: Physiological needs are universal human needs and Physiological needs are considered in internal motivation according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This theory explains that humans are compelled to fulfill these physiological needs first in order to pursue intrinsic satisfaction on a higher level, and it should be noted that this concept is the main physical requirement for human survival. Applying Maslow's hierarchy of needs to determine what motivate each of these individuals, in the scenario above, physiological need will motivate Joanna.
