Willie's motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is worried about losing his job, Option A.

Explanation:

Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards like money, fame. Willie's motivation can be called extrinsic because he is worried about losing his job.

In the given conversation we can see that Willie even slapped Mitchell because of the fear of losing the job. Willie is worried that he would get blamed if Ghost Wind does not get well. So, Option A is the most apt statement.

He is not anxious about failing at the job, neither he is worried about his reputation. The extrinsic motivation of the job is the cause of his worry.
