Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The fight that Carlotta had with her boyfriend was not at the forefront of her mind, so it was not in her conscious mind. However, it was not repressed in her unconscious mind, as she was able to recall it when reminded of the issue. Therefore, the fight was most likely stored in her preconscious mind, which holds information that is not currently at the forefront of consciousness but can be easily retrieved if needed.
