Intrinsic motivation is defined as inner drive for satisfaction.

• A. Intrinsic motivation
• B. Time-bound
• C. Tangible rewards
• D. Extrinsic motivation

Answer: (A)

Intrinsic motivation means being driven to act by internal rewards—enjoyment, interest, or personal satisfaction—rather than by external rewards. Saying it is an inner drive for satisfaction fits this idea exactly: the activity is pursued for the positive feeling or sense of mastery it brings inside you. In a sport or physical activity, this could show up as practicing because you genuinely enjoy getting better or feel satisfied by the progress, not just to earn prizes or recognition.

The other ideas point to different things: something time-bound is about deadlines or limits, not what motivates you; tangible rewards are physical items or prizes given from outside, which are a form of external motivation; and extrinsic motivation refers to doing something for external rewards or pressures rather than for inner satisfaction. So the statement aligns best with intrinsic motivation.
