You can say 2 things
1= selfishness. Creon wanted to seem like a strong king who wasn't to be messed with. He wouldn't let Antigone live as he wasn't going to be beaten by a girl. So you could say he was sexist and that his selfishness motivated him to kill Antigone.
2= He thought he was doing the right thing as he believed Polynices was a disloyal person to the dead king, so he thought that Antigone was being disloyal as well.
Both answers can be justified with text from the story.
hope this helps:)

What is motive question?
A motive question is basically a way of asking someone, specifically in court, why they committed a crime. An example could be a male defendant being cross-examined by the opposing attorney as to why he murdered his wife. A motive for that could be to cash in on his wife's death if her death was made to look accidental.
