Answer: E. Satiation

Explanation: The hunger drive is innate to living beings as an urge to force them to eat to satisfy their physiological needs. The drive of hunger is actually the physiological reaction of the body when the body needs food. This drive is therefore a tool for satisfying the physiological need for hunger and satisfying the body's response. In other words, the drive of hunger is the link between the physiological need / response of the organism to hunger and our behaviour according to that urge whereby humans and living beings are very effectively subordinate to this urge.

Satiation is, therefore, the point of satisfying the need, that is, the point when the sensation of satisfaction is achieved and when the drive of hunger ceases to alarm, that is, when the organism's reaction ceases due to satisfaction.
