D. self-serving bias.
E. selective perception error.
B. self-fulfilling prophecy.
The self-fulfilling prophecy, also known as the Pygmalion effect, describes the phenomenon in which people's expectations of themselves or others lead them to behave in ways that make those expectations come true. An example is a waiter who expects some poorly dressed customers to be stingy tippers, who therefore gives them poor service and so gets the result he or she expected, a much lower tip than usual.
