Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The "where" system, also known as the dorsal stream, carries visual information to the parietal cortex which is responsible for processing spatial and location-related information. The "what" system, also known as the ventral stream, carries information to the temporal cortex which is responsible for processing object recognition and identification. The "why" and "when" systems are not recognized pathways in the brain.
