A. Extrinsic motivation

Explanation:

Extrinsic motivation is when the motivation for carrying out a particular activity is external. Sources of extrinsic motivation includes praises, fame, money etc

Loretta likes it when she's praised for her singing. This motivates her to develop her skills. This is an instance of extrinsic motivation.

The need for affiliation is when a person is motivated to carry out an activity because the person wants to be identified with a certain group.

The overjustification effect is when the extrinsic motivation crowds out the intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation is when the motivation for carrying out an activity is internal.
