The question links brain activity during encoding with successful memory creation, and then asks what researchers did after giving participants a memory test. The only answer choice that follows this logic is D, measuring neural activity during retrieval. This would allow researchers to evaluate if the same areas of the brain were active during encoding and retrieval of successfully remembered items, suggesting those areas are critical for memory creation. Option A, erasing memories, is not a typical or ethical practice for memory research. Option B, measuring neural activity for elaborated items, may be interesting but does not directly relate to the original question. Option C, comparing active neural areas across genders, is also not relevant to the original question about successful memory creation.
