It would be "b) instincts". Rather than trip over my own words or paraphrase: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct

When I saw the question, but before I saw the answers, "drives" was the first word that popped into my mind....but I am thinking it could also be instinct. You need to go back and look through your chapter...or perhaps in the glossary. The wording of the question indicates that it will be A or B...but you need to be sure.
