Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Conscious information processing is slower because it requires deliberate effort and involves the attention and working memory systems. It is especially effective for solving new problems because it allows for deliberate reasoning, weighing of options and consideration of multiple solutions. In contrast, unconscious processing is faster and more automatic, making it effective for routine tasks that do not involve novelty or complexity.
