Freud's psychoanalytic theory suggests that human behavior is driven by:

Unconscious motives
Nonverbal communication
Conscious decisions
Brainwashing techniques

The correct answer is: Unconscious motives

Freud's psychoanalytic theory is based on the belief that human behavior is influenced by unconscious motives, such as desires, fears, and conflicts. These motives are not easily accessible or understood by our conscious mind and we may not even be aware of them. This is why option C, conscious decisions, is incorrect as it suggests that human behavior is strictly driven by our conscious thought process. Option B, nonverbal communication, and option D, brainwashing techniques, are also incorrect as they do not align with Freud's theory which focuses on internal drives rather than external influences.
