The correct answer is C - I am unlovable.

Explanation:

Attribution theory states that individuals have a need to attribute the underlying reasons for certain outcomes to either external or internal factors.

According to internal attribution, the reasons for certain outcomes (Nawaz and her boyfriend broke up) are explained by internal individual characteristics (I am unlovable). Conversely, external attribution explains reasons for the outcome with external factors. Here it would be ‘His parents think he should focus on school’.
