Explanation:

• Locus of control: It refers to an individual's belief about the underlying main causes of events in their life.
• External locus of control: People with an external locus of control believe that their life outcomes are determined by external factors such as luck, fate, or powerful others. Casey attributes her test score to luck, which is an external factor. So, Casey has an external locus of control.
• Internal locus of control: People with an internal locus of control believe that their life outcomes are determined by their own actions and efforts. Reagan attributes her grade to hard work (her own effort). So, Reagan has an internal locus of control.

Answer:

B. external; internal
