Mirror neurons are neurons in the brain that are activated both when an individual performs an action and when they observe someone else performing the same action. They are responsible for allowing individuals to understand and imitate the actions of others. In this scenario, even though Ray is not physically playing, his mirror neurons are likely activated as he watches his brother practicing his slap shots. Therefore, the best choice is A) mirror neurons.
