a
b

d

Explanation:

Disidentification refers to the process where an individual distances their self - concept from a domain (like performance - based tasks) due to negative experiences or stereotypes. When this happens, the individual is likely to devalue the tasks related to that domain. Option A says they'll prefer performance - based tasks, which is opposite to disidentification. Option B says they'll get excited about such tasks, but disidentification leads to a negative or detached attitude, not excitement. Option C says they'll put more effort, but disidentification usually leads to less investment, not more. So the correct option is D.

Answer:

D. An individual will likely devalue performance - based tasks.
