• A. Impulsivity
• B. Invulnerability
• C. Anti-authority
• D. Resignation

Answer: (D)

This describes resignation, a mindset where a person doesn’t believe their actions will make a significant difference and tends to blame luck or others for outcomes. In quality and safety contexts, taking ownership and recognizing that deliberate effort can improve results is essential; resignation frames problems as unsolvable and shifts responsibility away from oneself, which undermines proactive problem-solving and accountability. The other attitudes involve different patterns: impulsivity is acting without sufficient thought, invulnerability is feeling immune to consequences, and anti-authority is resisting rules or guidelines—none of which capture the sense of giving up and external blame that resignation conveys.
