Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The drive for consistency is likely rooted in our biological nature, as it helps in organizing our thoughts and actions, making our behavior more predictable and understandable both to ourselves and to others. This drive is fundamental and not limited to conscious processes; it also involves the unconscious mind, making option B incorrect. Additionally, the text does not specify that this drive is more prevalent in one type of culture over another, making options C and D incorrect.
