Arrange the steps of motivation process in the correct sequence.

(A) Drives & Search Behavior

(B) Satisfied Need & Reduction of Tension

(C) Unsatisfied Need

(D) Tension

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Starts with drives and search behavior before identifying an unsatisfied need, which is illogical as action cannot precede recognition of need.

Option 2 -> Begins with drives before establishing the unsatisfied need and incorrectly ends with tension instead of satisfaction.

Option 3 -> Follows the logical sequence: unsatisfied need creates tension, which triggers drives and search behavior, leading to need satisfaction and tension reduction.

Option 4 -> Places satisfied need before tension and drives, which reverses the cause-and-effect relationship of the motivation process.

Hence, Option 3: (C), (D), (A), (B) -> The motivation process correctly flows as: (C) Unsatisfied Need emerges first → (D) Tension is created by this unfulfilled need → (A) Drives & Search Behavior are activated to address the tension → (B) Satisfied Need & Reduction of Tension occurs when the need is fulfilled, completing the cycle -> correct
