Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Perceived behavioral control refers to Chandler's perception of the ease or difficulty of performing the behavior of interest, which in this case is giving blood. His belief that he will probably be turned away because of his medication directly impacts his perceived control over the ability to donate blood, thus inhibiting his ability to act on his positive attitude towards blood donation.
