Explanation:

According to my research on the different neurological defense mechanisms experienced by people who are victims of traumatic experiences, I can say that Darin's inability to recall the accident best illustrates the defense mechanism of repression. This term is defined as the psychological attempt of   removing the traumatic memories within your consciousness and placing/holding them within your subconsciousness.
