Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Flashbulb memories refer to clear and vivid memories of where one was and what one was doing when a special event occurred, such as remembering the details of where you were and what you were doing when you heard about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. They are not necessarily eidetic or photographic memories, and they do not refer specifically to visual images.
