Here are the complete question:

Which of the following is not a benefit gained from self-disclosure?

a. Increased accuracy in communication.

b. Increased likeability.

c. Increased self-awareness.

d. Reduction of stress.

Answer:

b. Increased likeability.

Explanation:

Self-Disclosure refers to the act of fully revealing all of our personal information to our communication partner, without holding anything bad.

Even though this mean that technically we're just being honest about ourselves, in the process this will include revealing things like our dislikes, our beliefs, our political value, our judgement about other people, etc.

When people hear these personal information, we will increase the chance of offending them. This mean that 'increased likability' will not be one of the benefit of self-disclosure.
