Correct option is A

The view of ability where it is believed that ability cannot be improved by trying hard is called the "Entity view." This perspective considers abilities and intelligence as fixed traits that cannot be developed through effort. It contrasts with the "Incremental view," which suggests that abilities can grow and improve through effort and practice. The "Mastery-oriented view" and "Learning optimist view" are different concepts. Students with 'Learned Helplessness' typically adopt the entity view of ability, leading to a lack of motivation to try harder as they believe their efforts will not make a difference.
