Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to Freud's theory of the mind, memories that are not in current awareness but can be retrieved with ease when needed are stored in the preconscious. In this case, Gordon had not actively been thinking about the Spider Wings concert but was able to retrieve the memory as soon as it was mentioned, indicating it was in his preconscious before Donovan brought it to his conscious awareness.
