Asked by MaS

If motivation consist only of drive-reduction, what is the perfect state of a human being?
a. Competitive,hard driving
b. Not hungry or thirsty,no pain,absence of fear
c. Constant change,always reestablish homeostasis
d. Gradual movement from primary to secondary drives.

Firstly I thought the answer is c.,but after reading some more information besides my textbook,I start thinking about b.
I'm in complete confusion.Maybe I just do not understand the question:(
Thanks for any help!

P.S. I would have said B because under that theory a person derives pleasure from reducing tension. If that person would hungry, he/she would eat and then be happy. So to me if he/she would not have to DO any of that, it would be a perfect state.

What bothers me about this question is a "perfect state of a human being." Is a perfect state when all needs are satisfied and we become a bump on a log? Does your text address this question?
