The correct answer is A. Motivational: emotional

Step-by-step explanation:

In humans, motivation includes needs, situations, reasons, etc. that make individuals act or behave in a certain way usually to achieve a purpose. On the other hand, emotions refer to either positive or negative feelings that are triggered by situations or circumstances. In the case presented, it is the motivational state the one related to a desire to perform well in a test because the desire to perform well is related to a reason or urge that makes you want to achieve a goal. Additionally, anxiety related to the text is part of an emotional state because this is a feeling triggered by a situation. Thus, your desire to perform well is related to your motivational state, while your anxiety is related to your emotional state.
