Answer:

She is intrinsically motivated

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrinsic motivation is an attitude or behavior that is driven by internal rewards. This means that the motivation to act in a certain way arises from within the individual because it is naturally satisfying to you and personally rewarding to you. Kelly really has no need of this course in her career, she just has a passion to study the history of religion, somthis is just personally rewarding to her.

Answer:B. She is intrinsically motivated

Explanation:A person who is intrinsically motivated will do something only because they are driven by an inward reward that this thing will bring .

"She thinks that the course would be interesting and enjoyable." This line tells us that she is only interested in this course because it will bring that feeling of enjoyment to her without an outward reward because she is not pursuing a degree in this. This is just for her personal internal reward which is the enjoyment it brings her.
