Human motivated behavior is unlike the homeostatic action of a home thermostat control in that

A) only the thermostat works to maintain an optimal level.
B) only people act to raise levels that fall below homeostatic balance.
C) only thermostats act to raise levels that fall below homeostatic balance.
D) people anticipate future needs, as well as maintain current homeostasis.

Human motivated behavior is unlike the homeostatic action of a home thermostat control because people anticipate future needs, as well as maintain current homeostasis. In contrast, a thermostat only works to maintain an optimal level but does not anticipate future needs. Similarly, only people can act to raise levels that fall below homeostatic balance, while thermostats do not have the capability to do so. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
