Answer 1

B. Low-effort Syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

Low-effort syndrome is characterized by a refusal to put an effort or work hard to achieve something. People with this syndrome have unusually low levels of motivation, not only on intelligence tests, but in tests overall because they are afraid of the results, which would probably be low due to the lack of effort.

In turn, these people often state that tests are unimportant for life and claim to have a desire of having an 'easy' life. However, all of this is a consequence of their fear of failure.
