Answer 1

Answer:          

extrinsic

Explanation:

Extrinsic motivation: In psychology, extrinsic motivation is defined as an individual's specific behavior that is being driven or operated or directed by any of the external rewards, for example, praise, fame, money, and grades, etc. Extrinsic motivation arises from an individual's outside environment and is considered as opposed to intrinsic motivation.

Example: A girl helps her mother in the kitchen because after that she will be rewarded with her favorite chocolates.
