Final Answer : D, Explanation :  A person with defensive self-esteem is likely to demonstrate self-serving bias, which means they attribute their successes to internal factors (e.g. their abilities) and their failures to external factors (e.g. bad luck). They are also likely to feel angry when criticized because they are overly invested in maintaining their high self-esteem and view criticism as a threat to their self-worth.
