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.

Under day care licensing, the staff-to-children ratio varies according to the ______ of the children cared for.
Archy [21]
A. Age

Age is the best answer because it is easily determined and since there are stages of development, age can tell staff other things such as coordination level, ability and risk of getting hurt. 

I'll go through the other answers briefly. 
B. Intelligence. Intelligence is a fair enough answer, save for the fact that it is something that is not easy to determine quickly and hence, it would be difficult to determine each child's intelligence before they came into the daycare. Furthermore, intelligence or lack thereof does not necessarily mean that the child does not need as much supervision.

C. Previous training. This is not the correct answer because it is the previous training "of the children cared for." The children do not need to have previous training. It could work as an answer if it were in relation to the workers, not the children.

D. Coordination. Somewhat of a good answer. However, once again, coordination is not an easy determinant, and cannot always reliably predict how many staff should be with how many children.
