  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: D

None
The use of "him" at the end of this sentence is confusing and strange, as it does not properly refer back to the subject of the sentence. One might normally replace "him" with "himself," but another option, introducing "his own" as a modifier of abilities, creates a shorter and clearer sentence, so "only confident about his own abilities" is the correct answer.
