Answer:

Option A. Emotions affect your memory as memories with strong emotional attachments are easier to recall than other memories.

Step-by-step explanation:

A memory is the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information and experiences. Psychologists believe that emotions play a determining role in whether we can recall or not a memory or a past experience at the time we try to revisit it. It is always easier to recall a memory that has an emotional aspect to it within ourselves, rather than one that does not. That is why when recalling a memory we often experience the same emotion we felt when living that moment, because emotionally charged situations can lead us to create a longer lasting memories.
