In a memory experiment, participants were shown a form that could be interpreted in more than one way. Half the participants were told, "Here is a picture of the sun." Other participants were told, "Here is a picture of a ship's steering wheel." Some time later, participants were asked to draw the exact form they had seen earlier. The data indicate that:
A) participants' visual memories were distinct from their verbal memories, so participants were uninfluenced by the labels
B) participants' drawings were biased in a fashion that reflected the labels that the participants had been given earlier
C) the labels had called attention to the ambiguity of the figures, leading to improved memory accuracy
D) participants were able to remember only the labels, not the drawings
