The study found that law students had the best adjustment (i.e., more positive mood) when their partners provided more support than the law students reported receiving. This suggests that perception of support is important for the student's well-being, but the actual amount of support provided by the partner is also crucial. Option A and B are incorrect because they don't reflect the findings of the study. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests a discrepancy between the student's perception of support and the actual support provided by the partner, which is not what the study found.
