Answer 2

Compulsions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compulsions are, as the exercise exemplifies, acts which are performed persistently and repetitively without any actual reward or pleasure. As we can see in the exercise, Bud has the compulsion of checking and rechecking if he shut off all the appliances and locked the windows and doors of his home. Were he to do that everyday, he would certainly have the compulsion to do so before leaving his house each morning.
