Answer: d. She will be easily distracted.

Explanation:

When one is said to be conscientious, it means that they are very dedicated to their duty. They value their duty and they want to do it well. A conscientious person is focused on their duty with the aim of fulfilling it to the best of their ability and so are reliable and trustworthy.

If a person is said to be low in conscientiousness, it means that they do not value their duty as well as they should and like Jane Simpson can get easily distracted from said duty.
