Lucy's difficulty after the test administrator's comments suggests that she may be experiencing stereotype vulnerability, which is the idea that being aware of negative stereotypes about one's group can impact their performance on a test or task. This is supported by the fact that Lucy's scores dropped after being made aware of the stereotype that women aren't as good at math as men. The other answer choices are not relevant to the scenario described.
