Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation states that motivation is a product of three factors: expectancy (the belief that effort will lead to performance), instrumentality (the belief that performance will lead to rewards), and valence (the value an individual places on those rewards). The formula for this relationship is Motivation = expectancy x instrumentality x valence, making choice A the correct statement.
