Answer:

D) Equipotentiality hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Karl S. Lashley 's hypothesis that large areas of cerebral cortex have similar potential to perform particular functions, including learning and other complex processes (e.g., maze navigation), so that intact cortical areas may take over functions of damaged or destroyed areas.

I thought it was neuroplasticity....
