Hi, I think there are a couple of concepts you need to reexamine:

1. D (cognitive dissonance)

Try looking up the definition of cognitive dissonance in the glossary of your psych textbook.

2. I think this one is D (motive), but I am not positive.

3. B (extrinsic rewards)

An extrinsic reward is any kind of reinforcement that is external to the individual. Verbal praise, a comfortable environment, and professional awards are other examples of extrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards are powerful motivators.

4. C (sensory deprivation)

Good job, you're right on this one.
