Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Drive-reduction theory distinguishes between primary drives, which are innate (such as hunger and thirst), and acquired (or secondary) drives, which are learned through experience. Getting a haircut to look attractive is not a primary, biological need but rather a learned behavior aimed at achieving a certain social or personal goal, making it an acquired drive.
