Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Parallel processing is the simultaneous processing of multiple aspects of a stimulus, including its form, color, and motion. Mrs. M's ability to perceive form, color, and depth but not motion suggests that her brain damage may have affected the parallel processing of motion information in her visual system.
