Answer:

C) homologous; analogous

Explanation:

The relationship between of the bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals is a homology.  

Homology is the  shared ancestry between a pair of structures - in this case the forelimbs- in different taxa - in this case penguins and seals-. The forelimbs of vertebrates is a common example of homologous structures because they derived from the same ancestral tetrapod structure.

On the other hand, the relationship between the pinguins flippers and the seals flippers is an analogy.  

Structures of two different organisms with similar functionsare analogus if they are similar  in function  - in this case for swimming- due to convergent evolution but not due to common ancestry. Pinguins flippers and  seals flippers have similar function but different ancestry, therefore they are analogous structures.

The correct answer is "increased activity of the right hippocampal formation".
Hippocampus is a brain area which is part of the limbic system and is located below the cerebral cortex. Humans have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. Hippocampus is responsible for the formation of long-term memories, by participating in the consolidation of short-term to long-term memory. It also plays a very important role in spatial memory and orientation.
The task that this experienced cab-driver is asked to perform is related to spatial navigation and orientation abilities. The right hippocampus has been shown to participate in the formation of memory for locations in specific environments, while the left hippocampus has been shown to be involved in autobiographical and episodic memory. As a result, the PET scan will show an increased activity of the right hippocampus.
