Answer:

B) Laurent is normal, as most adults cannot remember experiences occurring before 3 years of age

Step-by-step explanation:

Memory: The term memory is referred to as the tendency of an individual's brain to store a piece of information and afterwards remembering that particular information.

Type:

1. Sensory memory.

2. Short-term memory.

3. Long-term memory.

The memory of an individual doesn't work perfectly always. A child's memory before the age of three is considered a weak memory and not necessarily be remembered.
