Detailed explanation-1: -Option A-Motivation by arousal refers to the drive created by the need to be stimulated and feel a sense of activation. In the above examples, skydiving reflects such an experience with no absolute need being met in its engagement. Therefore, option A would be the appropriate choice.
Detailed explanation-2: -The arousal theory of motivation would be most helpful for explaining why: recreational skydivers jump out of airplanes. When a physiological need such as hunger creates an aroused tension state, this: drives the organism to reduce the need.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arousal theory states that we seek an optimum level of excitement or arousal. People with high optimum levels of arousal will be drawn to high excitement behaviors, like bungee jumping.
Detailed explanation-4: -Opponent-process theory of motivation explains the best why some people engage in high-risk activities, such as sky-diving or mountain climbing.
Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of arousal theory include: If our arousal levels drop too low, we might seek stimulation by going out to a nightclub with friends. If our arousal levels become too elevated and we become overstimulated, we might be motivated to select a relaxing activity such as going for a walk or taking a nap.
