A Correct answer
Explanation

In psychology, motivation is operationally defined as goal-directed behavior. When an organism demonstrates persistent action toward achieving a specific objective, it is considered motivated. Anxiety and stress are emotional states that may accompany motivation but don't define it. Psychological needs are internal drives that can cause motivation. Option D has a typo but 'exploratory behaviour' is a consequence of motivation.
