Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Both White and deCharms emphasize the importance of feeling that one has an effect on their environment. This idea is known as "personal causation" in deCharms' theory and as "competence motivation" in White's theory. They both argue that this need for personal causation is a fundamental human motivation that drives behavior. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
