Answer:
D. an external locus of control
Explanation:
In psychology, there are two distinct types of locus of control including the internal and the external locus of control.
External locus of control is described as a process through which an individual feels that his or her failures or successes occur as a consequence of some external factors or reasons which is beyond his or her control, for example, unfair teachers, circumstance, prejudiced, luck, injustice, bias, fate, etc.
An individual who is experiencing an external locus of control generally feels anxious as he or she believe of not having any control over his or her life.
In the question above, Helene's lack of perceptiveness best illustrates the dangers of an external locus of control.
