Promoting motivation to learn with low achievers is particularly challenging for teachers. Using learners' beliefs as a basis for the explanation, which of the following best explains why promoting motivation to learn with these students is so difficult?
 
  a. Low-achieving students' needs for relatedness are rarely met, and lack of relatedness detracts from motivation to learn.
  b. Low-achieving students are often punished for misbehavior, and the punishment detracts from their motivation to learn.
  c. Low-achieving students rarely get to the level of growth needs in Maslow's hierarchy, and meeting growth needs is essential for motivation to learn.
  d. Low-achieving students have a history of failure, so their expectation for success is low, and low success expectations detract from motivation to learn.
