Answer 1

A) Incentive

Step-by-step explanation:

The incentive theory of human motivation states that desirable actions and results are mostly propelled by the fact that we have something to benefit if we do so. This benefit is also referred to as reinforcement in psychology, hence it holds that for you to reinforce good behavior (i.e. to keep people motivated in their work) you will have to give them incentives.
