A self-fulfilling prophecy is an example of **the halo effect**. This is because the initial expectations or beliefs about a person can influence how they are treated, which in turn leads the person to act in a way that confirms those expectations.

However, the correct answer in the context of self-fulfilling prophecy specifically might not perfectly align with the provided options, as it represents a broader psychological phenomenon rather than a specific "effect" classified in the same way. If you have to choose an answer from the list provided based on common understanding, none directly describe the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you were looking for associations, the answer would be **B. The halo effect**, as it relates to how perceptions can influence behavior in ways that confirm the initial beliefs.
