Option B is the best choice as it reminds the female student of her identity as a good student in a selective major, and this positive self-awareness boosts her confidence and allows her to perform better on the exam. The other options are not helpful and may even reinforce negative stereotypes or add irrelevant information that could distract the student from the task at hand.
