D)  external locus of control

Maria's behavior reflects high achievement motivation, which is characterized by a strong desire to accomplish challenging tasks and a commitment to personal excellence. This is evident from her persistent hard work towards achieving her goals in a highly competitive career. High power need refers to the desire to control and influence others, while high affiliation needs refer to the desire for social connections and relationships. External locus of control refers to the belief that external factors such as luck, chance or the actions of others determine one's outcomes. These factors do not seem to apply to Maria's behavior.
