Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The expectancy model of motivation states that an individual's motivation is based on the belief that their efforts will lead to high performance and that high performance will be rewarded. In this scenario, Loni Knott is unable to complete all her work despite her efforts, indicating a low perceived probability that her effort will result in good performance. This weakens her motivation, as per the expectancy model. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, which refers to the effort-performance expectancy.
