  • C is correct: Self-efficacy directly affects persistence when facing challenges or obstacles in sporting tasks.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Self-efficacy is about belief in ability, not the physical ability itself.

  • D is incorrect: While self-efficacy might influence training dedication, it doesn’t directly determine training time.
