Strength of the attitude
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Perceived behavioral control refers to the degree to which a person believes that he or she can perform a given behavior. Perceived behavioral control involves the perception of the individual’s own ability to perform the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Behavioral belief: an individual’s belief about consequences of particular behavior. The concept is based on the subjective probability that the behavior will produce a given outcome.

Detailed explanation-3: -The TPB posits that behavior is guided by three considerations, perceived consequences of changing behavior (attitude), perceived expectations of others (subjective norm) and perceived facilitators or barriers to the ability to change (perceived behavioral control).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1970, 1980) This theory assumes behaviour results from the intention to perform that behaviour. People decide their intention in advance of most voluntary behaviours, and intentions are the best predictors of what people will do.
