The Stroop task involves naming the color of a word while ignoring the actual written word. This produces interference, which can lead people to make errors stating the word instead of the color. This effect has been widely replicated and is a hallmark of the Stroop task.

B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the Stroop task or its effects. B describes attentional blindness, C involves semantic categorization, and D involves phonology and morphology, which are not relevant to the Stroop task.
