The emotional Stroop task is designed to assess the interference of emotional words on color naming. It is based on the Stroop effect, which is the observation that the naming of the color of a written word can be slowed down if the word itself is a conflicting color name. The emotional Stroop task measures the time it takes for participants to name the color of emotional words compared to neutral words, with the assumption that emotional words will interfere more with color naming than neutral words. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
