Answer

The answer is telling someone with dyslexia she cannot learn to read, leading her to become illiterate even though she could learn to read with a bit of extra effort.

Explanation
Option 1: telling people you hate boy bands, then taking your child to a boy band fan club meeting

This option does not illustrate a self-fulfilling prophecy. It describes a contradiction between one's stated dislike and their actions, but it does not involve a belief causing itself to become true.

Option 2: telling blue-eyed people they are unattractive, then feeling bad and complimenting people with blue eyes to avoid feeling guilty

This option involves a change in behavior due to guilt, but it does not demonstrate a belief causing itself to become true.

Option 3: telling someone with dyslexia she cannot learn to read, leading her to become illiterate even though she could learn to read with a bit of extra effort

This option is a classic example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The belief that the person with dyslexia cannot learn to read leads to actions (or inactions) that result in the person not learning to read, thereby making the initial belief come true.

Option 4: telling your spouse you hate his cooking, then taking over the cooking yourself to avoid food poisoning

This option describes a change in behavior based on a belief, but it does not involve the belief causing itself to become true. Instead, it involves taking action to prevent a perceived negative outcome.
