An internal attribution refers to attributing the cause of an event to oneself (e.g., personal ability or effort). Skye is likely to make an internal attribution for her success on the statistics midterm because she scored 100%. A stable attribution refers to attributing the cause of an event to a consistent factor over time (e.g., ability). Thus, Choice C is the best choice because it reflects Skye's belief that she has a natural ability in statistics, which is a stable factor that has contributed to her success. Choices A, B, and D do not reflect an internal-stable attribution.
