Explanation:

Drive theory explains that we are born with organisms that creates needs and once there is a negative tension relating to the need, our body leaves the state of homeostasis but when there is positive tension concerning a need, our body returns to the state of homeostasis. Also it never explained about psychological needs to motivate our behaviour it only explains how our body relates to the needs created. That last statement is incorrect about drive theory.
