Answer:

C. Adele is praised by her math teacher and performs better on her

next test.

Explanation:

A "self-fulfilling prophecy" determines the action that a person will be doing in the future. It predicts how a person will behave according to what's expected of him/her.

Choice C is the only example of a self-fulfilling prophecy among the choices above. The expectations of Adele's Match teacher on her allowed her to strive harder and perform better on her next test. This type of self-fulfilling prophecy is also known as "others-imposed prophecy." This means that the expectation of other people affects the outcome situation of the person.
