The answer is C.

Explanation:

Dipositional attribution is understood as atributing an outcome to internal circumstances that affect a person's behaviour. In other words, the factors that contribute to a result are inherent to the person's inner characteristics. In this case, Rita didn't succeed in her exam because of her bad study habits, a not becuse of external factors (such as an uncomfortable environment, or being sick).
