Solution

failed
failed

The answer is B: an individual's perception of their ability to overcome challenges and realize successful performance.

Explanation for each option:

A. Staying focused throughout a contest - This option describes concentration or focus, which is an important aspect of performance but does not specifically define self-regulatory efficacy.

B. An individual's perception of their ability to overcome challenges and realize successful performance - This is the correct definition of self-regulatory efficacy. It refers to a person's belief in their capability to manage and regulate their actions, emotions, and thoughts to achieve desired outcomes, especially in the face of challenges.

C. Expecting to beat a tough opponent or master a difficult skill - This option describes outcome expectations or confidence in achieving specific results, which is related but not the same as self-regulatory efficacy. Self-regulatory efficacy is more about managing oneself to reach those outcomes.

D. Another important concept for understanding confidence is self-fulfilling prophecy - This option introduces a different concept. A self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief or expectation that influences behavior in a way that helps the belief come true, but it is not the definition of self-regulatory efficacy.
