Explanation
The question refers to understanding of certain psychological concepts and terms.In psychology, the phenomenon where is it sometimes easier to recall faces of one's own races compared to faces of different races, terms as "The Other-Race Effect". Scientific studies have shown, up to some extent, this phenomenon, where exposure and familiarity play substantial role. Deindividuation term isn't being used in this context as it generally refers to disappearance of self-awareness in group scenarios. Ingroup bias is a favourable attitude towards people in their own group, and doesn't pertain to "recall" of faces. The mere exposure effect is concerned more with the familiarity judgement and affect towards the repeated exposed stimuli, and doesn't deal with the "race" specific situation. Finally, the mirror-image perception refers to a general idea that people have different views on mutual counterparts.Therefore, by strict interpretation, the correct answer should be "the other-race effect".
