A
Intrinsic
B
Instinct
C
External
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You are motivated to do the activity because it is internally rewarding. You choose to do it because it’s fun, enjoyable, and satisfying. Your goal comes from within, and the outcomes of your goal satisfy your basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intrinsic motivation is defined as the doing of an activity for its inherent satisfaction rather than for some separable consequence. When intrinsically motivated, a person is moved to act for the fun or challenge entailed rather than because of external products, pressures, or rewards.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because emotional connection and satisfaction overlap, intrinsic motivation is the type of motivation most commonly associated with employee engagement. A properly executed engagement strategy should provide employees with intrinsic motivators.

Detailed explanation-4: -Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in a behavior because it is personally rewarding; essentially, performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for some external reward.

Detailed explanation-5: -Intrinsic rewards are psychological rewards that employees get from doing meaningful work and performing it well. They are intrinsic because they are internal to the work being done and achieving them largely depends on one’s own effort. They are essential to sustained behavior change.
