Sweating and thirst
The major stimulus for the thirst mechanism is dehydration, which is when there is a decrease in fluid volume within the body. When the body detects dehydration, it signals the brain to activate the thirst mechanism, prompting the individual to drink fluids to restore proper hydration levels.
The major stimulus for the thirst mechanism is an increase in the concentration of salts and other solutes in the blood, detected by osmoreceptors in the brain. When blood osmolality rises above a certain threshold, signals are sent to the brain to trigger the sensation of thirst, prompting us to drink water and restore fluid balance in the body.
A simple association between a stimulus and a response is called classical conditioning. This process involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically potent one, which results in the neutral stimulus producing the same response.
Most potent mineralocorticoid is fludrocortisone
Deciding to get a drink of water is a response to a physiological stimulus, specifically thirst. This internal cue signals the body's need for hydration, prompting you to take action. It reflects a homeostatic mechanism that maintains balance in bodily functions.
A mockingbird drinking water from a bird bath illustrates both external and internal stimuli. The external stimulus is the presence of the bird bath, which provides a source of hydration in the environment. The internal stimulus is the bird's physiological need for water, driven by thirst and the need to maintain hydration. Together, these stimuli motivate the mockingbird to engage in the behavior of drinking.

Primary motives are necessary for survival. These would include biological needs like thirst, hunger and the avoidance of pain or death. Stimulus motives are needs for stimulation that are not survival based. These would include physical contact, exploration and curiosity.
Feeling of hunger and thirst and the organism could respond by eating or drinking. Or it is any other stimulus that occurs IN side the organism's body.
Most likely, dehydration
