ok thanks

If you don't know the right answer, try to eliminate the wrong ones.There is no incentive change and cognitive approach has not changed. Drive reduction will not occur until after the completion of the exam.

What does that leave you with? Fear gets you more aroused.

cognitive approach

No, option B is not correct. The approach to motivation that you described is best explained by arousal approaches. Arousal approaches suggest that individuals are motivated to maintain an optimal level of arousal or stimulation. Some people thrive on the adrenaline rush and sense of urgency that comes from waiting until the last minute to study or complete tasks. This approach suggests that the fear and pressure associated with waiting until the last minute actually serve to increase motivation and performance in these individuals.
