Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (D), (B), (C)

(D) Tension — Second. An unsatisfied need creates tension in the person. By 1 pm Raman became restless.
(B) Search behavior — Third. Tension creates a drive that makes the person look for a way to meet the need. Raman walked 2 km looking for a hotel.

NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Motivation Process: Motivation process is based on human needs. A simple model to explain motivation process is presented below. The following example explains the process of satisfaction of human needs. Ramu is very hungry since he did not have breakfast in the morning. By1.00 P.M., he became restless and started walking on the road in search of a hotel for snacks or meals. …” “An unsatisfied need of an individual creates tension which stimulates his or her drives. These drives generate a search behaviour to satisfy such need. If such need is satisfied, the individual is relieved of tension.” |
