The correct option is;

Explanation:

Executive attention is the brain function that permits the setting of priorities of relevant observations from irrelevant observations, such that competing attention requiring observations can be resolved. The process of executive attention can be shown in mental exercises where the subject, based on his will, tries to redirect observed sensation, by making more important non-emotional features.

Executive attention enables the brain to focus and to isolate events thereby aiding in problem solving.
