Answer:

c. learned optimism.

Step-by-step explanation:

This refers to developing the ability to see the world from a positive point of view. With the constant challenge in the negative internal dialogue and the replacement of pessimistic thoughts with optimists, people can learn to be more positive.

This change from negative to positive thinking brings several benefits such as improvements in health, less stress, longer lifespan, more motivation every day and better mental health among others.
