An incentive is a gesture or a reward to increase productivity or motivation.

Option B is correct.

Incentive can be defined as a motivator used in order to encourages someone to do something. Traditional incentives are extrinsic motivators which reward actions to yield a desired outcome. The effectiveness of traditional incentives has changed due to the fact that the needs of Western society have evolved. For instance, a monetary bonus can be considered an incentive.
