If a person does not put forth continued effort in order to achieve a goal they do not have __________

A) activation.
B) persistence.
C) intensity.
D) motivation.

Persistence refers to the ability of a person to keep working towards a goal or objective, despite facing obstacles or difficulties. Without persistence, a person may lack the ability to continue working towards their goal, which can result in them not achieving it. Activation refers to the initiation of a behavior or action, intensity refers to the level of energy or effort put into a behavior, and motivation refers to the underlying reason or drive that causes a person to behave in a certain way. While these factors may influence a person's ability to achieve a goal, without persistence they may not be able to sustain the effort required to achieve it.
