Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Internal, stable, and global explanations for one's own failures are indicative of pessimism. This is because pessimistic individuals tend to view negative events as being due to personal flaws (internal), unchangeable factors (stable), and pervasive aspects of their lives (global).
