B.

Solution:

Motivation encourages a learner to work in a specific direction to achieve a particular goal. It helps in channelizing the focus of the student to achieve the target.There are many methods of motivating the learners which can either be categorized into extrinsic or intrinsic types of motivation.Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain an outcome and comes from outside of the individual. Example: Motivation by parents, teachers, society, peer groups, etc.Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest in the task itself and exists within the individual. Example: Motivation by self, motivation by curiosity, etc.?So Option (1) is the correct answer.Important Points Characteristics of Intrinsic motivation are:Intrinsic motivation is an inner drive that propels a person to pursue an activity, not for external rewards.An intrinsically motivated activity will always be rewarded due to the direct relationship between the activity and the goal.An intrinsically motivated person will work on a solution to a problem because the challenge of finding a solution provides a sense of pleasure.Set challenges, interests, and Purpose are some methods to increase intrinsic motivation.
