External Regulation means

• A. Someone has pushed someone to do something
• B. They see actual benefits of doing it
• C. Enjoyment
• D. Having control of situation

Answer: (A)

External Regulation is when behavior is driven by outside forces—pressures, rewards, or directives from others—rather than by personal interest or internal desire. It means you do what you’re told or what’s rewarded because of the external push, not because you inherently want to do it.

So the option that fits describes someone being pushed to do something by an outside influence. The idea that you see benefits or enjoy the task reflects other motivational angles (perceived rewards, intrinsic enjoyment), and having control of the situation points to autonomy, which are different from external pressure.
