Answer:A) motive

Step-by-step explanation:

Motive is an inner force that activates us and drives us to a behavioral response and guides us on what steps to take in order to fulfill that response.

It drives us towards a behavior that will assist us towards reaching our endpoint goal.

Motive is taken from a Latin word which mean 'moving' hence a motive drives you to move towards a goal in mind.

Now you are hungry and your motive is to get full hence you have to find food.

You exercise because your motive is to get fit. Motive always drives us to move towards achieving a goal.
