1.5 points

Explanation:

Julian Rotter's locus of control theory distinguishes between internal and external control. An internal locus of control means a person believes their actions (like hours of practice) lead to outcomes (being good at basketball). External locus would attribute success to outside factors (e.g., luck). Self - regulation is about managing behavior, and self - efficacy (Bandura's term) is belief in one's ability. Since the question is about Rotter's theory and Alysha credits her effort (internal factor), it relates to internal locus of control.

Answer:

B. an internal locus of control
