Which scenario shows the best example of intrinsic motivation?

Intrinsic motivation means doing something because it is personally interesting or satisfying, rather than for an outside reward or to avoid a consequence. Zareem takes notes to understand the lesson better, which shows an inner desire to learn. Yuto wants to impress the teacher, and Nikita wants to avoid trouble, so those are driven by external outcomes.
