This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

External locus of control

Locus of control, a concept from attribution theory, describes whether a person attributes outcomes to factors within their control (internal) or outside their control (external), such as luck or fate.

Attributing failure to luck places the cause outside oneself, which is the defining feature of an external locus of control.

Internal locus of control would involve attributing outcomes to one's own effort or ability, while self control and intelligence are unrelated personal traits, not attribution styles.
