    C. The maturing of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

    Explanation:

    The frontal lobe is a crucial part of our brain. It plays a great role in attention and memory. Attention is the worthy part of the frontal lobe. Dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex is a very new and recently developed part of the brain. This is the part that does not get the information from the sensory part eye and ear. It does not send information of motor neurons to the brain.

    It is only the association between output and the input cortex. The injury and lack of development in this area cause problems in memory, attention.

    Thus here in a teenager, Leonard's behavior is the result to engage in the maturing of the dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex.
