Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The researchers were looking for indications of implicit prejudice, which refers to unconscious biases that can influence behavior and attitudes towards members of a particular group. The test with Black and White faces is a common measure of implicit bias, as individuals may have different automatic reactions and facial expressions when viewing faces of different races. The other answer choices are related to different concepts, but do not specifically align with the scenario described in the question.
