Some automatic transmissions have 4, 5 or even 6 gears. "Drive" just means the transmission gets to pick whichever gear is appropriate; If your shifter has a "3rd gear" selection, it limits the transmission to pick from gears 1, 2 or 3. It can be used to accelerate uphill better, or when towing a trailer.

Drive gear one and drive gear two typically differ in terms of size, tooth count, and their roles within a gear system. Drive gear one may be larger or have more teeth, allowing it to transmit more torque, while drive gear two could be smaller, facilitating higher speed but less torque.
