According to the question, the correlation is between a person's response to the Implicit Association Test and the immediate activation of a part of the brain to a subliminal face. The Implicit Association Test is designed to measure implicit biases, and previous research has shown that the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotional processing, is activated in response to biases. Therefore, the most likely answer is A) amygdala.
