Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for processing spatial information, and is also more involved in processing visual information. In this scenario, since Sam's monitor display has flipped upside down, he is likely processing the orientation of the images more heavily with his right hemisphere to make sense of what he is seeing. This increased activity in the right hemisphere may also extend to processing emotional content related to the movie, such as the protagonist's feelings towards his ex-girlfriend. While the other brain regions listed (left hemisphere, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus) may also be involved in memory processing, they are less likely to be activated solely by a change in visual orientation in this way.
