Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Praise can have negative side effects, such as making someone overly dependent on external validation or causing them to feel like they have to constantly perform to receive praise. It is important to balance praise with constructive feedback and promote intrinsic motivation. The other statements are false - praise can definitely be overdone, it is not necessary to use gendered language (and this can even be harmful), and praise is most effective when it is earned and specific.
