The labeling effect refers to the phenomenon where a person's behavior is influenced by how they are labeled or perceived by others. In this case, children who are identified as smart are given more respect and opportunities by teachers, which can influence their behavior and future academic success.

Option C is specific to a medical condition and is not a general example of the labeling effect.
