Answer: d) positive or negative predictions of our behavior, imposed by others and/or ourselves.

Explanation: A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that causes itself to be true due to the behavior of the believer. Self-fulling, here, means "brought about as a result of being foretold or talked about," while prophecy refers to the prediction.
