Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Bandura's theory of social cognitive learning emphasizes the role of self-efficacy, or one's belief in their ability to successfully perform a task, in determining behavior. Therefore, the difference between what people know (knowledge) and how they act (behavior) is mediated by self-efficacy, as individuals with high self-efficacy are more likely to act on their knowledge than those with low self-efficacy.
