In the parallel distributed processing model, knowledge is represented by the pattern of interconnections between the neuron-like processing units. Each unit contributes to the overall representation, and it is the pattern of activity across units that encodes knowledge. Thus, choice B, "the pattern of interconnections," is the best answer. The other choices (A, C, and D) are not accurate representations of how knowledge is represented in this model.
