Explanation:

Internal conflict is a struggle within a character's mind. In option D, Cole's self - doubt (a mental struggle) is resolved when he stops doubting his intelligence and applies to university. Option A is an external conflict (fear of nature). Option B is an external factor (team support) helping with perseverance. Option C is an external pressure (coach's comment) leading to weight loss. Only option D shows character development through an internal conflict (self - doubt).

Answer:

D. Cole applies to university when he finally stops doubting his own intelligence.
