Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (C), (A), (D), (B)
(C) Tension — first of the four. An unsatisfied need creates tension in a person.
(A) Drives — second. The tension creates an urge, or drive, to find a way to satisfy the need. This leads to search behaviour.
(D) Satisfied Need — third. The behaviour that follows satisfies the need.
(B) Reduction of Tension — last. Once the need is satisfied, the tension goes away.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Motivation Process: … 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.”
