The correct answer is d. a self-fulfilling prophecy

self-fulfilling prophecy refers to the phenomenon whereby an individual's beliefs or expectations about a situation causes the expected outcome or situation to actually take place. The self-fulfilling prophecy occurs because when we expect something to occur or unfold in a certain way, we subconsciously act and behave in a certain way that leads to the expected outcome.
