Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The lexical decision task has most directly been used to support the idea of spreading activation. In this task, participants are asked to decide as quickly as possible whether a string of letters is a word or a non-word. Faster reaction times for words that are semantically related compared to unrelated words support the theory of spreading activation, where activating one concept in memory facilitates the retrieval or recognition of related concepts.
