Step 1: Matching List-I with List-II
Let's go through each match one by one:
- (A) Incentives and Rewards — (III): Incentives and rewards aim to offer athletes something desirable or expected. Statement III talks about giving what is valued, making this the best match.
- (B) Performance Appraisals — (IV): Appraisals are retrospective recognitions that encourage athletes to plan their actions. This directly aligns with Statement IV.
- (C) Quality Support and Facilitation — (I): This item focuses on how the quality of available support helps athletes. Statement I discusses facilitation affecting motivation, hence it is the right match.
- (D) Valence of Reward — (II): Valence refers to the attractiveness of a reward and how it drives action. Statement II discusses a motivational force driving athletes to act, which fits perfectly.
