Final Answer : A, Explanation :  This scenario exemplifies the impact of perceptual set, which refers to a mental predisposition to perceive something in a particular way based on prior experiences or expectations. In this case, the name David may bring to mind associations with strength and size, leading children to perceive the infant as bigger and stronger. On the other hand, the name Diana may not elicit the same associations and therefore children may perceive the infant differently.
