a.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the children remembered more stories in which the light-complexioned characters had positive attributes and the dark-complexioned characters had negative attributes. Since many of these older stories associated positive attributes to those with light-complexions and children tend to remember the positive attributes more.
