The correct answer is Anika is likely to attend to her coach's feedback since it is most consistent with her own perception of her skills and athletic ability.

Individuals most often agree with opinions or feedback from others that match their own perception of reality. In this instance, Anika believes that she is a very athletic person, and when he coach praises her performance after a game, she is likely to agree with it and believe it since it corroborates her own beliefs about herself. Thus, Anika is likely to attend to her coach's feedback rather than her teammates saying that they think she is not very athletically skilled.
