b. extrinsic rewards

c. status

d. secondary gains

Answer 1

It can be best said that Mike is now seeking a job that not only pays well, but also offers intrinsic rewards, in the form of job satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Good compensation is a form of extrinsic rewards, alongside status. Intrinsic rewards are things that you find pleasing because it is satisfying to you, not because you think it would gain you respect or other people’s acceptance.
