Answer 1

Answer:

Many student becomes disoriented when allowed to control their path through a program. Option b is the most correct for the result of the research.

Some student which find it difficult to focus on their studies are likely to be more distracted, because their mind is always painting an abstract picture from their studies, which will make them to easily deviate from studies to playing games or watching movies.
