What kind of attraction is involved in determining one's sexual orientation?

  1. Temporary

  2. Enduring sexual attraction towards one or both sexes

  3. Based on achievement motivation

  4. Influenced solely by extrinsic motivation

The correct answer is: Enduring sexual attraction towards one or both sexes

One's sexual orientation is determined by enduring sexual attraction towards one or both sexes. This means that the attraction is not temporary or based on extrinsic factors such as societal pressure, but rather an internal and constant aspect of an individual's identity. Achievements and motivation have no bearing on an individual's sexual orientation, making options C and D incorrect.
