Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. by.

The verb "driven" means motivated or influenced by something, and when we use "by", we specify the cause or motivation.

"Driven by" is a common phrase that conveys that someone's actions are influenced or prompted by something specific.

In this case, the teachers’ participation in CPD opportunities is encouraged or guided by their own interests.
