The best answer is C. appetite effect.
The appetite effect refers to the phenomenon where exposure to violent or horror content increases a person's desire for more of that content. In Kathy's case, her initial fear gave way to a growing interest and enjoyment of horror movies and violent shows, which aligns with the appetite effect.
