a

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon

Explanation

The tip of the tongue syndrome is a mental phenomenon that occurs when our phonological memory is unable to remember something we want to express and is clear in our mind. It is a manifestation that occurs in all languages (including those based on symbols). This syndrome is more common in older people because the neural bonds are weakening. According to the above, Mickey may be suffering from a manifestation of the syndrome of the tip of the tongue because he cannot remember the name of the physiologist although he knows that it starts with the letter P and has two words of extension.
