Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The hippocampus is a region of the brain important for memory consolidation, particularly for the formation of new memories. Damage to the hippocampus can result in difficulty recalling events from the past year or even more recently. The hypothalamus is involved in regulating hormones, the fornix connects the hippocampus to other parts of the brain, and the amygdala is involved in emotion processing.
