Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Explanation
Both statements are true: extrinsically motivated students are driven by rewards and praise, and intrinsically motivated ones act for personal satisfaction.
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside, such as marks, prizes or approval.
Intrinsic motivation comes from within, such as curiosity and enjoyment.
Intrinsic motivation tends to sustain learning longer and deeper.
Both types can operate together in a single learner.
