Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This finding would illustrate implicit prejudice, where people unconsciously associate certain characteristics (in this case, strength) more readily with males than with females. It would not necessarily indicate explicit prejudice (conscious and intentional bias), unconscious patronization (treating someone as inferior or less capable without realizing it), or the other-race effect (difficulty distinguishing faces of different races).
