  • A.Motivation driven by external rewards
  • B.Motivation driven by personal interest or enjoyment of the task
  • C.Motivation driven by competition with others
  • D.Motivation driven by gaining the appreciation of others

Answer: B

Intrinsic motivation is motivation driven by personal interest or enjoyment of the task.

Intrinsically motivated learners do a task because they find it interesting, satisfying or enjoyable in itself. This kind of motivation tends to produce deeper learning and longer persistence.

The other three are forms of extrinsic motivation, where the reason for acting lies outside the task: external rewards, winning against others, and gaining others' appreciation or praise.
