According to the drive theory of motivation, what does a motivation do?

A) It energizes unconscious processes that pull us closer to our goal.
B) It changes a person's preferences among possible outcomes.
C) It stimulates the particular muscles that are necessary to carry out a particular behavior.
D) It makes behavior more vigorous until it satisfies some need.

According to the drive theory of motivation, a motivation makes behavior more vigorous until it satisfies some need. This means that the motivation or drive energizes the individual to engage in a particular behavior that will ultimately lead to the satisfaction of a need or desire, such as hunger or thirst. Once the need or desire is satisfied, the motivation or drive decreases.
