Answer: Optimal-level Theory, Psychoanalytic Theory, and Humanistc Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Optimal-level Theory:

This is also called as theory of homeostasis. Claud Bernard coined the word homeostasis to explain the state of equilibrium in the body. This is a ‘hedonistic’theory which says that, there is a certain optimal level for normal functioning of the body.

Psychoanalytic Theory:

This theory which has been explained by Sigmund Freud, deals with unconscious motivation. According to Freud, the inborn tendencies called instincts influence our behaviour.

Humanistic Theory:

This theory believes in striving tendency of the individual for realizing his potentialities, especially creative ones, strengthening self-confidence and attaining the ideal self. There are two important persons related to this theory— Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.
