The study found that the amygdala was quickly activated (indicating a strong emotional response) on exposure to pictures of black faces in white participants. However, frontal lobe activity indicating cognitive judgments (such as processing and analyzing information) was activated more slowly, suggesting a more deliberate and thoughtful response. Therefore, the best choices are D (quickly) for the amygdala and slowly for the frontal lobe activity.
