Answer 1

Answer:

This is an example of D. Visual encoding.

Explanation:

Our brain encodes all types of information in order to be able to store it for future use.

Visual encoding refers to the encoding of images and any visual into the brain. By doing so, the individual is able to remember visuals.

In this case, Felipe has encoded the type of font from his presentation; bold and italic and is able to tell which is which and remembering what it looks like by taking a glimpse at his work and noticing the differences which is possible thanks to his visual encoding.
