    (A). Joel will tend to receive better performance evaluations than Kirk for equivalent work.

    Explanation:

    According to the halo effect, a particular trait in an individual, such as good looks or physical attractiveness, creates a bias that make others assume the individual is superior in other aspects too, such as intelligence and performance.

    In a workplace, this bias sometimes creates a perception that attractive people tend to perform better than those who are less attractive.

    Therefore Joel will tend to receive better performance evaluation than Kirk for equivalent work.
