Hint:

Cognitive: specific tasks. Pedagogical: fun training. Social support: people around you. Facilitation: appraisals.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Motivation is the inner drive that makes an athlete start, keep up and put effort into training. Coaches use different approaches to raise this drive. Each approach has its own matching technique, and this question asks us to pair them.

Step 2: Match A, the Cognitive Approach:
The cognitive approach works on the way an athlete thinks about a task. Clear, specific goals help the athlete know what to do next. So A matches I (Make task specific).

Step 3: Match B, the Pedagogical Approach:
Pedagogy means the way of teaching. Teaching through games and enjoyable drills keeps learners interested, especially children. So B matches IV (Fun-based training).

Step 4: Match C, the Social Support Strategy:
Social support comes from teammates, family, friends and coaches. An athlete feels driven when the people around them value the effort. So C matches III (Social networking and perception of people around them).

Step 5: Match D, the Facilitation Approach:
A facilitator guides and checks progress. Performance appraisals give feedback on how well the athlete is doing and what to improve. So D matches II (Performance appraisals).

Step 6: Compare with the options:
We now have A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II. Option 1 is exactly this set. Option 2 gives B-I and D-IV, which is wrong. Option 3 gives A-III and C-IV, which is wrong. Option 4 gives A-III and C-I, which is wrong.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II, which is option 1. \[\boxed{\text{Option 1}}\]
