Destiney Mills · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Hunger and thirst are both examples of physiological states that create an internal pressure to restore balance to the body's systems, also known as drives. They are not incentives, as incentives are external factors that motivate behavior, and they are not instincts, which are innate, complex behaviors that are present at birth. While they can be reinforcing (i.e. a drink of water can reinforce drinking behavior), the primary motivating force behind them is the drive state.
