A "yea" sayer is more likely to have a lax decision criteria, meaning they may be more likely to say "yes" or signal detection is more sensitive. A "nay" sayer, on the other hand, is more likely to have a strict decision criteria, making it less likely for them to say "yes" or signal detection is less sensitive. Therefore, the correct answer is A - lax decision criteria; strict decision criteria.
