Answer: want

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the word "needs" and "wants" are often used to represent thesame thing or meaning by most people, it should be noted that they are different.

Needs refer to the things that are paramount to our survival on Earth e.g. clothing, food, water. As individuals, we need these things to survive.

Want are what we desire. It should be noted that wants are not as important as needs and we can survive even if we don't get them e.g phones, radios, televisions etc.
