Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amygdala is a section of nerve tissue responsible for helping the brain to detect fear and prepare for dangerous events.

The amygdala modulates the intensity with which memory is stored in our memory system, thus, enhances memories of traumatic events, such as strength in your mind all the details of the day when you suffer the attack from the vicious dog.
