Observed consequences refer to the outcomes or results that individuals observe from the behavior of a model. These consequences can affect the performance of responses, in terms of how well the individual performs the behavior that they observed from the model. Acquisition of responses, on the other hand, refers to the initial learning of a behavior or skill by observing a model. While observed consequences may influence the acquisition process to some extent, they have a greater impact on the performance of already-learned responses. Therefore, the most affected factor by observed consequences is the performance of responses, making choice B the best answer.
