Answer 1

Answer:

Primary appraisal

Explanation:

Primary Appraisal is the process of assessing an event that how significant it is for the person regardless if it is an opportunity or threat.

When a person performs primary appraisal, the person will analyze the event that how much relevant it is for him/her and what impact will this event have on him/her.

In the given case, for Becca getting her degree is important so to get this degree she has to take this last class. Her eagerness to take this last class shows that she is performing primary appraisal.

So, the correct answer is Primary Appraisal.
