Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Weiner's (1986) attribution theory, ability is an internal factor that is stable, meaning it is unlikely to change over time, and uncontrollable, as individuals have little control over their inherent abilities. Hence, option C is the best choice. Mood (option A) is internal, but neither stable nor uncontrollable as it can change quickly and may be influenced by external factors. Task difficulty (option B) is an external factor, which may be stable or unstable, but controllable for individuals. Luck (option D) is an external, unstable, and uncontrollable factor that can affect achievements, but it is not internal or stable.
