The tendency of the body to maintain a balanced internal state is called __________

A) arousal.
B) homeostasis.
C) drive.
D) biological motives.

Homeostasis is the state of balance or equilibrium that the body strives to maintain. This includes regulating temperature, glucose levels, fluid balance, and other physiological functions to keep the body in a healthy state. Arousal refers to the level of activation or excitement in the body and mind. Drive and biological motives are related concepts that refer to the innate behavior patterns and motivations that are driven by biological needs, such as hunger, thirst, and sexual desire. While these concepts are related to homeostasis, they do not encompass the broader idea of maintaining a balanced internal state.
