What does it mean to "undermine" someone's confidence?

A. To strengthen their resolve
B. To support their ambitions
C. To gradually weaken their confidence
D. To encourage their beliefs

The correct answer is: C. To gradually weaken their confidence

To "undermine" someone's confidence means to gradually weaken or erode their self-assurance in their abilities or decisions. This can occur through subtle actions, words, or behaviors that cause doubts to arise, making the individual feel less capable or less certain of themselves over time. This concept relates to various contexts, including negative feedback, criticism, or dismissive behavior that impacts a person's belief in their own skills or judgment. The other options, such as strengthening resolve, supporting ambitions, or encouraging beliefs, represent positive affirmations and are contrary to the notion of undermining, since they contribute to building someone's confidence rather than diminishing it.
