Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A drive is a natural and physical state of tension that arises from an unmet need, such as hunger or thirst, and motivates an individual to take action to reduce or satisfy that need. While wants, desires, and motivations may also encourage action, they are not necessarily tied to a specific physiological need like a drive is. A deed, on the other hand, is an action that has already been taken and is not related to the initial stimulus that motivated it.
