In which situation has the student used internal and external motivation in a balanced way?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The goal is learning and the reward is treated as extra encouragement
Intrinsic motivation comes from interest, understanding, or the value of learning itself. External rewards can add encouragement, but dependence on rewards, punishment, or praise makes effort fragile. In option A, learning remains the main purpose while the reward provides additional support. That combination is more balanced and sustainable than externally controlled effort alone.
