Extrinsic motivation is best described as:

• A. From rewards or outside pressure, winning trophies, pleasing close people, avoid letting team down.
• B. Self-motivation - because it's fun.
• C. Intense exercise routines.
• D. Intrinsic rewards within the sport.

Answer: (A)

Extrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from outside factors—rewards, recognition, or pressure from others. In sport, this includes aiming for trophies, pleasing coaches or family, and not letting the team down, all of which are external influences that drive the effort. The other ideas describe intrinsic motivation (doing it for personal enjoyment or internal satisfaction) or actions that aren’t defined by external rewards, so they don’t fit extrinsic motivation.
