The phonological loop is responsible for acoustically coding verbal information in working memory. It includes both the phonological store (which holds the verbal information for a few seconds) and the articulatory rehearsal process (which allows for the subvocal repetition of the information to keep it in working memory). The other choices (visuospatial sketchpad and central executive) are responsible for different types of information processing in working memory.
