Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The Stroop effect refers to the phenomenon wherein it takes longer to name the color of the font used to spell out a color name if the color of the font is incongruent with the actual color named. In other words, if the word red is written in green ink, it takes longer to say green than if the word was written in red ink.
