The question is discussing two types of motivators. The first blank is referring to reducing drives, which are internal and biologically-based urges that push us to behave in certain ways (e.g. hunger, thirst, sleep). The second blank is referring to incentives, which are external stimuli that pull us towards certain behaviors because of the rewards they offer (e.g. money, praise, good grades). Therefore, the best choice is B, which correctly matches drives with incentives.
