Answer 1

Answer: The most correct option is option C. CURRENT INFORMATION IS LOST WHEN NEW INFORMATION IS PRESENTED.

Explanation: During work, our memory tries to focus our attention to all the relevant details and information needed to achieve that task. This makes it easy for our attention to become focused on the job task.

Our brain tends to hide every other information that is not relevant to the job task from us, while we focus on the job. Those old Information may not actually be lost, but at that particular time in the job, the brain tends to hide it from us, and then present all the new information that are relevant to the job.

For example, it will be very difficult for someone to be repairing shoe, welding a metal, repairing a television, and producing a chemical in a lab, at the same time. Because the brain will only want to produce all the information related to a particular task.

The brain can only perform excellently in a task that are related with the same information at a particular time. For example, repairing two different television at a particular time.
