The face inversion effect refers to the difficulty people have in recognizing and processing faces when they are presented upside-down compared to when presented right-side-up. This effect suggests that right-side-up faces are processed holistically, meaning that the face is perceived and processed as a whole, whereas upside-down faces are processed analytically, meaning that the features of the face are processed separately. Therefore, the best choice is D, where it is stated that right-side-up faces are processed holistically and upside-down faces are processed analytically.
