Answer 1

According to e2020, the answer is reduced performance due to stereotype threat.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Comment of Kenneth's mom was stereotypical which made him realize that boys are not good at cooking. As usually in our society cooking is related to girls and office work is related to boys.

Therefore, it is considered it both boys and girls interchange their roles then they won't be able to justify it.

So, comment from Kenneth's mom was like a threat for Kenneth that has put him under pressure.

Therefore, we can conclude that the most likely effect of Kenneth’s mom’s comment on Kenneth’s cooking performance is that reduced performance due to stereotype threat.
