• A. Early adopters
• B. Drivers for invention
• C. Innovation
• D. Entrepreneur

Answer: (B)

This item is about what motivates people to invent. The motives listed—personal creativity and interest, scientific or technical curiosity, constructive discontent with current solutions, the desire to make money, and the wish to help others—are the driving forces behind creating new ideas and products. The phrase that best captures all of these is drivers for invention, because it groups the various internal and external motives that push someone to develop something new. Early adopters describe who uses a new idea first, not why it was created. Innovation refers to the new idea or the process of turning it into value, not the personal motives behind it. An entrepreneur is a person who starts a business, not the set of motives that drive invention. Understanding these drivers helps explain why inventors pursue certain problems and solutions in design work.
