Of the following,who might be more likely than the average person to feel the ability to cope effectively with stressors at work?

A) Tom,who has a high external locus of control
B) Timmy,who has low self-esteem
C) both of these might be more likely to feel they would be able to cope
D) neither of these might be more likely to feel they would be able to cope

Individuals with a high external locus of control often believe that external forces, rather than their own efforts, determine their outcomes. This belief can lead to a feeling of helplessness or lack of control over work stressors. Similarly, low self-esteem can contribute to doubts about one's ability to handle challenges, including stress at work. Therefore, neither Tom (with a high external locus of control) nor Timmy (with low self-esteem) would be more likely than the average person to feel they can cope effectively with work stressors.
