The fact that children who were lavishly rewarded for drawing on one occasion later showed little interest in drawing suggests that extrinsic incentives (in this case, the reward) can undermine intrinsic motivation (in this case, the child's natural interest in drawing).

Option A is incorrect because it states that intrinsic incentives can undermine extrinsic motivation, which is not supported by the given scenario. Options B and D are incorrect because they both refer to classroom enrichment programs, which are not mentioned in the scenario at all.
