Answer: a) drive-reduction

Explanation: Homeostasis is basically the body's need to maintain stability necessary for survival despite changes in the world outside. It is the body's unconscious tendency to maintain internal states (temperature, sleep, thirst, hunger) at stable levels.

Drive-reduction theory, which is a major theory of motivation, suggests that when there is an Homeostatic imbalance, needs are created, people perform actions (i.e their behaviour changes) to restore the body's ideal state, because of the need to restore balance.

Strong muscles are necessary to reinforce the __________ that hold the bones together.
Amanda [17]

The right answer is Joints (or ligaments more precisely).

Muscle is the contractile structure that produces strength. It has components that allow it to be shortened to create what is called a muscle contraction.

The joint is junction of two parts of the skeleton allowing them relative mobility.

The ligament is an elastic structure that stabilizes the joints. It therefore attaches from one bone to another.
