I'll take the bonus and run! Screw Maslow and his silly hierarchy. Give me that sweet, sweet extrinsic reward any day.

Job enrichment? More like job endarkenment, amirite? The stress of the job sounds pretty un-enriching to me. C is the way to go, folks.

I'm not sure about this one. The hierarchy of needs could also be a factor, but the question specifically mentions bonuses, so I'm leaning towards C.

But couldn't it also be job enrichment? Maybe she finds fulfillment in her work despite the stress.

I agree with Latonia. The high bonuses she earns are definitely an extrinsic reward.

I think the sales manager's primary motivation is extrinsic reward.

Clearly, the answer is C - Extrinsic reward. The sales manager is staying for the high bonuses, not because she finds the job intrinsically rewarding.
