Final answer:

Option C and D: When writing with the right hand, the orthographic and phonological processors are activated. These processors are involved with recognizing letter shapes and the pronunciation of words.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you write with your right hand, the processors involved in this activity primarily include the orthographic processor and the phonological processor. The orthographic processor is responsible for the recognition of written words, including the shapes of letters and how they are situated within words. The phonological processor involves the sound system of language and deals with the pronunciation aspect of words, which can be activated in silent reading through subvocalization (silently pronouncing the words in your head as you read them).

As the task given does not involve interpreting the meaning of words or the context in which they are used, the meaning processor and context processor would not be as actively engaged. The focus here is more on the physical act of writing and potentially the internal vocalization of what's being written rather than the comprehension or contextual use of information. Meaning and context processors are less engaged in this activity.
