Explanation:

In literature, "internal" refers to anything that happens "inside" the characters' minds. It is related to expectations, conflicts, wishes, feelings, thoughts. Option A is the only option talking of something happening internally. When it says, "he promised himself," it means the character did not externalize the thought, that is, he did not tell anyone else. He kept it to himself, at least at this point. Therefore, option A is an example of internal expectation.
