The hippocampus is a key structure in the brain for memory formation and retrieval, and it shows increased activity when successfully remembering something. The left frontal lobe is also involved in memory processes, particularly in encoding and consolidating memories. However, the left frontal lobe is not typically associated with retrieval processes, so it would not show increased activity when trying to remember something unsuccessfully. The right frontal lobe is also involved in memory processes, but typically more with spatial memory and visual memory, rather than verbal memory which is more closely linked to the hippocampus. Therefore, choice A is the best answer as it includes both the hippocampus, which is commonly associated with memory retrieval, as well as the left frontal lobe, which is involved in memory processes including retrieval.
