The correct answer is A. Basic expectancy theory.

Expectancy theory is considered an integrated view of motivation because it incorporates elements from various other theories, including the individual's expectations of performance, the value of the rewards, and the relationship between effort, performance, and outcomes. Unlike the other options, which tend to focus on specific aspects of motivation, expectancy theory combines different factors to explain motivation comprehensively.
