Answer:
According to drive-reduction theory, a "NEED" refers to a physiological state that usually triggers motivational arousal.
Explanation:
The drive reduction theory states that organisms are born with certain biological needs (such as hunger, and thirst). These "needs" sometimes trigger a state of arousal known as "drive".
It is the drive that motivates the organism to act externally, in a certain way.
When these needs are not met, a state of negative tension is created, however, satisfying these needs returns the organism to a relaxed state.
