Answer:C. Mental set

Explanation:A mental set is a tendency of using the same solution all over again because it has worked in the past. It is a form of a fixed thinking about resolving problems.

Due to this fixated form of thinking Marks isn't able to use simpler formula to solve his mathematics problems , this mental set is making him fixated to what has worked before.

Why Mental Sets Can Make Problem-Solving More Difficult

It create rigid thinking and prevent creativity.
