The correct answer is letter "D": relative judgment.

Explanation:

In psychology, the relative judgment refers to the activity in which stimuli are presented to an individual who tends to relate it with internal standards. Those internal standards could be based on experiences the individual faced in similar situations that the one exposed during the experimentation of being prompted the stimuli. It is called relative because there is no absolute certainty the individual is making the correct judgment.

Thus, Greg's stimuli represent the lineup of suspects committing the crime and his standards the features he believes the criminal has based on the characteristics of the person he saw committing the crime.
