Answer 1

The correct response is Option A. Mary is showing signs of intrinsic motivation; Olivia is showing signs of extrinsic motivation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrinsic motivation refers to those reasons for acting or behaving that come from internal sources, like your own desires and wants. Extrinsic motivations are those motivations that are outside in your environment and not directly under your personal control, like money and fame. Avoiding punishment is also considered an extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic movitation means you are genuinely interested in doing something for your own satisfaction or pleasure.
