• A. Studying out of curiosity
• B. Being rewarded by the teacher
• C. Taking interest in learning new things
• D. Studying with self-motivation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Motivation can be classified into two types: - Intrinsic motivation: Motivation that comes from within the individual, such as curiosity, interest, or self-drive to learn. - Extrinsic motivation: Motivation that comes from external factors, such as rewards, praise, grades, or punishments. Here, - Option (A), (C), and (D) describe intrinsic motivation, where the learner is driven by personal interest and internal satisfaction. - Option (B) describes extrinsic motivation, where the learner is motivated by external rewards provided by the teacher. Hence, being rewarded by the teacher is a clear example of extrinsic motivation.
