B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is B because intrinsically motivated students are driven by inherent interest, curiosity, or personal satisfaction in the learning task itself, making external rewards like grades or praise insufficient to sustain their motivation. Option A incorrectly states that rewards are 'not at all required' (they can still be used but aren't primary drivers), option C wrongly suggests intrinsically motivated students have lower motivation, and D incorrectly concludes that intrinsic motivation eliminates the need for formal education altogether.
