    B. Words stored in echoic memory will last for 3 to 4 seconds, so you can still recall her words.

    Explanation:

    We have different types of memory, one of those types of memory is echoic memory.

    This memory is a type of sensory memory that register sounds, when we first hear something, the sound is stored in this memory so it can be processed. The stimuli last about 3 to 4 seconds in the echoic memory (that's why sometimes we can hear something after it was said even if we're not paying attention)

    In this example, your mom is lecturing you and you lose concentration, when she asks you if you're listening and you are able to repeat the last few things she said. We can see that this is an effect of the echoic memory, that has stored the last 3-4 seconds of your mom's lecture and you can repeat this even if you were not paying attention.
