Attitude inoculation occurs when people are exposed to a weak form of an argument and are then able to generate counterarguments that act like barriers around their initial attitudes. This process makes it more difficult for later persuasive attempts to change their attitudes. The other options, such as the primacy effect, recency effect, and persuasion, are all related to the timing and effectiveness of persuasive messages but do not refer specifically to the phenomenon described in the question.
