According to Wendt, what is the fundamental failure of the realist-rationalist school of thought?

a. The school fails to make proper account for how fundamental aspects of human nature necessarily dictate how states in an anarchic system will act toward each other.
b. Because the school fails to recognize that world politics does not exist outside the interactions of states, it does not provide a means by which states can escape the world politics their interactions have created.
c. By failing to reify the concept of "self-help," the school is incapable of treating it properly as something separate from the practice of world politics in which it was created.
d. The school fails to recognize that predation is at the heart of all international relations and that world politics will never change without the removal of predation from the system.
