Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Internal stimulation theories of motivation focus on internal drives and needs that push individuals to act. Grand Theory and Opponent Theory are not typically classified as internal stimulation theories.
Grand Theories are broad frameworks that attempt to explain a wide range of human behavior, but they don’t specifically focus on internal drives.
Opponent Theory is a concept in perception and emotion, not directly related to internal motivation.
Expectancy Theory suggests that motivation is based on the expectation that effort will lead to desired outcomes.
Attribution Theory explores how individuals explain the causes of their own and others’ behavior, which can influence motivation.
