Answer: D
Avi is attributing his performance to lack of ability.
In attribution theory, 'I just don't have the sense for numbers' explains failure by a stable, internal and uncontrollable cause, a fixed lack of ability. Such attributions are harmful because the child sees no point in trying harder.
Luck and task difficulty are external causes, and lack of effort is internal but controllable ('I did not work hard enough'). Avi's words blame none of these.
