C   sense of recognition

D   company car

Explanation:
Intrinsic rewards are those that come from within the individual and are related to personal satisfaction or fulfillment from the work itself. A sense of recognition, such as feeling valued for one’s contributions, is an intrinsic reward because it is tied to internal feelings of achievement and appreciation. Options A (basic pay), B (pension), and D (company car) are extrinsic rewards, as they are tangible benefits provided by the employer and are outside the individual’s internal control or personal satisfaction. The document confirms that a sense of recognition is an intrinsic reward.
