C. Unsatisfied Need
D. Search Behaviour and Need Satisfaction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (C), (B), (D), (A)
(C) Unsatisfied Need — first. Motivation begins with a need that is not yet met, such as hunger.
(B) Tension and Drives — second. The unmet need creates tension, which gives rise to drives, the urge to act.
(D) Search Behaviour and Need Satisfaction — third. The drives make the person search for a way to meet the need, and the need is met.
(A) Reduction of Tension — fourth. Once the need is satisfied, the tension goes. A hungry person who finds a meal is no longer restless.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Motivation Process: Motivation process is based on human needs. A simple model to explain motivation process is presented below.” “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.”
