Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
This is an example of a true interaction effect, where the effect of one variable (e.g., caffeine) on an outcome (e.g., problem solving) depends on the level of another variable (e.g., extraversion). In this case, neither variable alone predicts problem solving, but together they do, indicating their effects interact with each other.
