Answer:

intrinsically; extrinsically

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrinsic motivation: In psychology, the term "intrinsic motivation" is described as an individual's behavior that is being driven by different "internal rewards" i.e, a form of motivation in which an individual is being engaged in behaviors that come from within him or her as it was naturally satisfying him or her.

Extrinsic motivation: In psychology, the term "extrinsic motivation" is described as an individual's behavior that is being driven by some external rewards, for example, praise, money, grades, etc and generally comes from outside the person.
