The option consistent with the concept of drive states is Option C) - drinking a glass of water after a long hike.
Our body tries to remain in a state of internal homeostasis or balance.However this internal state of balance is disturbed when a biological need arises and the body goes into a state of drive, this excited state motivates us to behave in a manner which reduces the drive and brings back the state of homeostasis.Biological need for food , water, sleep are some examples of drives which motivate us to eat, drink and rest respectively.
