The primacy effect refers to the idea that we tend to remember and favor the first information we receive about someone or something. Therefore, if Tia describes Mario as intelligent and industrious first, followed by warm and impulsive, and critical and stubborn last, Nancy is more likely to form a positive impression of Mario. Option C is the only choice that has intelligent and industrious listed first, followed by positive traits and negative traits last.
