Priming is when exposure to one stimulus influences a response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious awareness. In this scenario, Brenda's iPhone alarm playing a song she likes (stimulus) primed her to choose the same song later when she listened to music (response to subsequent stimulus), without her being aware of the influence. Therefore, the best answer is D) Priming. Retrieval cues and memory cues are more relevant to recall of information, while implicit cues do not apply to this scenario.
