Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delayed-matching-to-sample task involves the maintenance of information during a delay period, which requires the prefrontal cortex. During the delay, the temporal lobe association areas are responsible for visual working memory, while the parietal lobe association areas are responsible for spatial working memory. Therefore, all of the options A, B, and C are correct.
