Answer:option A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Drive is an act of motivation (for example; hunger) that have primarily biological purposes.

Needs motivate human beings. The need to satisfy hunger, sexual urges etc motivates man. Some needs may decrease when satisfied, while others may not.

When a need is satisfied, the drive to satisfy that need decreases. Therefore, a drive can be said to be a need of instinct.

One may a higher drive for need or a lower drive. For example, for a secondary drive such as getting wealth. One may have the need of wanting money but if the drive is not enough you may have to settle for less.
