Arrange the following motivational properties according to motivational cycle

(A) Reduction of arousal

(B) Achievement

(C) Need and Drive

(D) Arousal and goal directed behaviour

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is (C), (D), (B), (A).

The motivational cycle is a dynamic process that explains how motives are triggered, pursued, and satisfied. The logical sequence of this cycle is broken down below:

1. Need and Drive (C): Every motivational cycle begins with a physiological or psychological deficiency (a Need), which generates a state of internal tension (a Drive) prompting the individual to act.
2. Arousal and goal-directed behaviour (D): The drive creates a state of excitation or alertness (Arousal). This pushes the individual to engage in actions directed toward a specific target or object that can satisfy the initial need (Goal-directed behavior).
3. Achievement (B): Through goal-directed behavior, the individual successfully attains the target or goal (Achievement).
4. Reduction of arousal (A): Once the goal is achieved, the internal tension and excitement subside, leading to a state of relief and balance (Reduction of arousal).

Thus, the correct chronological order of the motivational properties is (C) followed by (D), then (B), and finally (A), which corresponds to the sequence (C), (D), (B), (A).
