Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Restitution overcorrection involves the individual correcting the consequences of their inappropriate behavior by restoring the environment to its original state or better. In this case, Paige is required to clean the whole cafeteria, which is a way of making amends for her action of throwing her sandwich and hitting Mr. Rubble, thus fitting the definition of restitution overcorrection.
