Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The late-selection model of attention suggests that all information in the environment is processed at a low level before the mind selects certain information for further processing. In Frances's case, her ability to become aware of her name being called, despite not consciously attending to the lecture, supports the idea that information (her name) was processed to some extent before she consciously attended to it.
