Imagine that you get to sleep late tomorrow, and you want to sleep until 10:00am. At 8:00am, you wake and have to use the bathroom. You ignore it and go back to bed. Finally, at 9:30am you can’t hold it anymore and hop out of bed, even though you still want to sleep. This best represents which key property of motivation?

Answer:

homeostasis

Step-by-step explanation:

The steady internal state in an organisms body is known as homeostasis. The body always wants to be in this state. This causes us to act according to our body's demands.

Here, the bladder has filled up to the point where urine needs to be passed. This causes our body to motivate us to urinate. Hence, the key property of motivation here is homeostasis.
