Question

Grant Andrew · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Skye's motivation appears to be mostly extrinsic, as she only plays the piano to receive praise and attention from others. If her motivation were intrinsic, she would likely play the piano even when alone, simply because she enjoys it. The fact that she does not suggests that her motivation is primarily driven by external rewards rather than internal enjoyment. It is unclear from the information given whether Skye's motivation will persist through adulthood.
