The correct answer is b] 90. Given the ratio, the total ratio parts are \(5 + 7 = 12\). Each part represents \(180 \div 12 = 15\). Therefore, there are \(5 \times 15 = 75\) boys.

Cristina's urge to go to the bathroom created a physiological drive that she had to satisfy, illustrating this theory. Expectancy and Value Theory (option c) also encompasses motivational behaviors but does not so directly align with physiological needs.

A separate subject curriculum divides the school day into distinct periods for each subject, ensuring specialized focus and instruction in areas like language arts, social studies, science, health, and arithmetic.

Separate Subject is the correct answer here.
