MCQ Answer
A. selective attention
Correct

Sensory memory holds a vast amount of incoming environmental data for a very brief duration. Selective attention acts as a filter, allowing only the information that is deemed relevant or significant to pass from sensory memory into short-term memory for further processing. Without this selective focus, the brain would be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of sensory input.
