The correct answer is letter "C": High locus of control.

Explanation:

In psychology, the internal locus of control refers to the ability individuals develop to control their emotions in front of different situations whether the outcome is positive or negative. People are conscious they can handle the situation making them feel secure about themselves. On the other hand, external locus of control is the state in which individuals believe they will not be able to work around adverse situations they could be facing.

Therefore, if an employee's reaction is calm after his or her project is canceled considerably having worked hard to complete it, the employee shows a high internal locus of control.
