Why each option
Sticky Keys is a Windows accessibility feature that activates after a modifier key (such as Shift) is pressed five times in a row, prompting the user with a dialog box to enable it.
Lock indicator lights are physical LEDs on a keyboard that show the status of Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock - they do not generate popup dialogs.
A flickering display is a hardware or driver symptom affecting screen stability, unrelated to repetitive key actions triggering popups.
A ghost cursor refers to unintended mouse pointer movement, typically caused by touchpad sensitivity issues, and does not produce action-triggered popup dialogs.
Sticky Keys is designed to assist users who have difficulty holding multiple keys simultaneously. Windows detects when the Shift key is pressed five consecutive times and displays a popup dialog asking if the user wants to enable Sticky Keys - this is the exact behavior described in the question.
