The lexical decision task involves participants quickly deciding whether a presented string of letters is a real word or not. Therefore, Ella is likely to have the fastest response time when presented with a pair of clearly distinguishable real words, which would be the case for option C, "building-house". The other options present either nonwords ("resk", "dup", "loor") or potentially ambiguous word pairs ("egg-tree").
