Explanation:

The question asks for the term describing the brain's process of storing retrievable information. The hippocampus (labeled in the image) is key to memory formation/storage, which matches the definition. Stimulation refers to activating neural activity, and sensory reception is detecting external stimuli—neither fits the storage/retrieval process.

C. memory
