Answer: b. learned through experience.

Explanation:

Clark Hull was an engineer and formulated his theory of behavior based on Pavlov's conditioning laws (conditioned reflexes). For Hull, the impulse was an internal force capable of motivating behavior. According to his theory, the impulse has to do with bodily needs, the deficit in the ideal conditions of the organism and the basis of motivation. His model was based on 2 different drives, the primary and secondary drives. The primary drives are related to the innate biological needs, which are not learned, and which are vital, such as breathing, drinking water, eating, among others. Secondary drives refer to impulses that are learned during existence and are reinforced from the moment that the primary needs are met, by a conditioning process that motivates the organism and is related to environmental stimuli.
