Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
According to the spreading activation theory, when we hear a word, it activates related concepts in our memory. In the case of "fire engine," the concept of "red" is strongly associated and therefore most likely to come to mind for Dory. The other options are not as strongly associated with "fire engine" and may not come to mind as quickly or easily.
