Lower Needs

Typically refers to the more basic needs in Maslow's hierarchy, such as physiological needs and safety, which must be met before higher-level needs can be addressed.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Higher needs are indeed weaker than lower needs in terms of their immediacy and criticality for survival, they tend to become active or more prominent later in life after lower needs have been satisfied, and they are less necessary than lower needs for survival. This concept aligns with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where physiological and safety needs (lower needs) must typically be met before an individual can focus on higher needs such as love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
