What is the principle difference between how achievement motivation theory and arousal theory explain human motivation?
(A) Achievement motivation is a specific example of arousal motivation.
(B) Arousal theory describes the optimum level of general arousal an individual seeks, while achievement motivation describes what type of goals the individual is motivated to achieve.
(C) Arousal theory describes motivation by referring to stages in our responses to stress (the general adaptation syndrome). Achievement motivation is not used to describe motivation due to stress.
(D) A person with a low optimum level of arousal according to arousal theory would have a high achievement motivation.
(E) Arousal theory is an older, outdated precursor to achievement motivation theory.
