Answer:

A. Attending free lectures because she loves to learn

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of motivation- Intrinsic and extrinsic.

The intrinsic motivation is caused by the internal desire to do something for its own sake. e.g A persons desire to learn a skill because he/ she is excited to learn. Reading book, exercising and cleaning your home are all example of intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic motivation is caused by an external factor. These factors push use to do something so that we can get a reward. reading book to prepare for an exam, exercising to lose weight and look good and cleaning your home when visitors are coming to your house are all examples of extrinsic motivation. In this an outside factor is motivating us to do an activity.

Leela is motivated by herself, she is attending the lecture because she loves to learn while all other activities that she does is motivated by an external factor.
