Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Instinct approaches to motivation focused on describing and categorizing behaviors without providing a thorough explanation for why those behaviors occurred. This lack of explanation made it difficult to predict and change behavior effectively. As a result, explanations for motivation have moved beyond basic instincts to include a broader range of factors and influences.
