    External locus

    Explanation:

    Anyone with an "external locus of control" generally believe that their successes or failures result from external factors beyond their control, such as luck, fate, circumstance, injustice, bias, or teachers who are unfair, prejudiced, or unskilled

    Just like Nazia is having a factor of external locus of control in her personality.

    Answer: b. External locus

    Explanation: Samantha is having a factor of external locus of control in her personality. People who carries external locus of control in their personality ties their success or failure to external factors which they have little or no control over, factors such as luck, faith, destiny, bias etc. Unlike the internal locus of control, people who exhibit external locus of control never seem to take responsibilities of their situations. They just believe they have no control over what happens and they believe it's down to just being lucky or unlucky.
