done

Explanation:

• 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.
• Option A attributes success and failure to luck (an external factor), so it matches external locus of control.
• Option B: Anxiety when faced with new challenges can be related to a lack of belief in one's own ability to control the situation (external factors are seen as more influential), so it matches external locus of control.
• Option D: Risk - averse behavior and avoiding new challenges can stem from a belief that one cannot control the outcomes of new situations (external factors are dominant), so it matches external locus of control.
• Internal locus of control: People with an internal locus of control believe that they have control over their life through their own behavior, actions, efforts, and attitudes.
• Option C: Expecting to succeed and being motivated to learn implies a belief in one's own ability (internal factors), so it matches internal locus of control.
• Option E: Believing events result from one's own behavior and actions is a classic sign of internal locus of control.
• Option F: Believing in control over effort, attitude, and ability to be proactive is indicative of internal locus of control.
