Selecting highest in ('high', 'medium', 'low') from different columns

User_UFW31Feb 11 2022

Hi Everyone,
Firstly, I have to say I am new to SQL and the Oracle community. I am learning to write SQL queries. I have come across a situation where I need to select highest value among 3 levels high, medium and low from 3 different columns. I tried to search for the answers with no luck.
Basically I have 3 columns

And I want the result to have highest value from high, medium or low for the ID.
I know MAX() function just would select the highest using alphabetical order, but it would not work for me.
Hope that makes sense. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
