Mr. Rawlins is faculty advisor for the high school service club. He attends every meeting, and he regularly provides the support students need to carry out their activities.

In taking this approach, Mr. Rawlins is most likely to:
 
  A) Decrease club members' expectations for success in their activities.
  B) Enhance club members' sense of autonomy.
  C) Reduce club members' interest in public service.
  D) Encourage club members to have external attributions about their activities.
