b equipotentiality

Explanation:

Flashbulb memory theory suggests that people have vivid, detailed memories of emotionally significant events. Sharmila's clear memory of her wedding (an emotionally charged event) compared to forgetting a mundane event (breakfast) aligns with this. Emotion theory is too broad. Equipotentiality refers to brain's ability to re - route functions. Arousal theory is about physiological arousal and motivation.

Answer:

C. flashbulb
