Explanation:

To determine the motivation type, we analyze the situation: John's motivation for working harder on his Social Studies project is influenced by the external reward (the college scholarship) offered by his teacher. Extrinsic motivation comes from external factors like rewards, recognition, or avoiding punishment, while intrinsic motivation comes from internal desires (e.g., personal interest or satisfaction). Here, the scholarship is an external incentive, so the motivation is extrinsic.

b. Extrinsic
