The correct answer is letter A

The cognitive map theory focuses on spatial aspects of the environment and takes them as critical attributes of memory. The theory holds that animals can learn about the spatial relationships of objects and relate events to the spatial context of their occurrence in their Central Nervous System (CNS). This system encodes the environment in cognitive maps and, according to the authors' proposal, the hippocampal formation constitutes the neural substrate for the learning and storage of such processes.

According to this theory, information is processed in two different systems: taxon system and mapping system.
