The little girl across the street loves to play basketball in her driveway, and you see her out shooting hoops almost every day (she's really good at it, too!). But for the past couple of weeks, you notice that she hasn't been out at all. Talking to a neighbor one day, you learn that the little girl's father wanted her to play basketball someday at the collegiate level, and so he began paying her

a. extrinsic rewards undermined spontaneous interest.
b. intrinsic rewards undermined spontaneous interest.
c. the little girl's choices reflect a growing maturity.
