Answer 1

D.achievement motivation

Step-by-step explanation:

Achievement Motivation is defined as behaviors dedicated to developing and demonstrating higher abilities.

Achievement motivation can also be referred to as the striving to increase or to keep as high as possible, one’s own capabilities in all activities in which a standard of excellence is thought to apply and where the execution of such activities can, therefore either succeed or fail.

Behavior is ordinarily described as intrinsically motivated if it is pleasurable in its own right and is not being undertaken merely to obtain some external reward; the reward for performing is inherent in the performance itself. When the individual’s goal is more specifically to meet some standard of performance excellence and part of the reward for indulging in the activity is striving toward and reaching this goal, we refer to intrinsic achievement motivation(just like jeff''s goal).
