Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to the theory of planned behavior, beliefs about control over obtaining high grades play an important role in shaping behavior. Thus, by increasing students' beliefs about their control over obtaining high grades in mathematics, the teacher can help improve their grades. Increasing one-on-one time, English abilities, or math teaching time may be helpful, but these interventions do not directly address the issue of perceived control.
