Shining Reyes · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Nora putting on a coat is a response to a physiological need for warmth, which has produced a motivational state called a drive. A drive is a state of internal tension that motivates an organism to engage in behaviors that will reduce that tension and maintain homeostasis (a state of balance or stability). Therefore, while homeostasis is a factor in this scenario, the most immediate and relevant motivational state is the drive to meet the physiological need for warmth.
