According to the Health Belief Model, individuals who express a high level of positive self-efficacy believe that they have the ability to successfully change their behavior. Choice D indicates the highest level of positive self-efficacy because the individual expresses a high level of confidence in their ability to quit smoking permanently. The other choices express fear or a desire to avoid negative health outcomes, but do not necessarily reflect a strong belief in the individual's ability to make a behavior change.
