A Men's High School Basketball Team Has a Strong Incentive

A men's high school basketball team has a strong incentive to win because each player will be awarded a scholarship if the team can win the conference tournament.The trouble is every player is less than 6 feet tall,and the team has lost almost all of its previous games.What is true about this team's likely level of motivation?

A) Valence is high because the scholarship reward is meaningful. Instrumentality is high because players believe they will receive the reward if they perform. Expectancy is low because there is little chance that the team will win. Because expectancy is low, motivation is likely to be low.
B) Valence is high because the scholarship reward is meaningful. Instrumentality is high because players believe they will receive the reward if they perform. Expectancy is low because, being so short, there is little chance that the team will win. Because expectancy is low, motivation is likely to be high.
C) Valence is low because the scholarship reward is not meaningful. Instrumentality is high because players believe they will receive the reward if they perform. Expectancy is high because, being so short, there is a good chance that the team will win. Because expectancy is high, motivation is likely to be high.
D) Valence is low because the scholarship reward is not meaningful. Instrumentality is low because players do not believe they will receive the reward if they perform. Expectancy is low because, being so short, there is little chance that the team will win. Because all three categories are low, motivation is likely to be low.
