Serial processing is the type of information processing wherein information is relayed in a stepwise sequence, from one neuron to another or from one neuronal pool to the next. This means that information is processed one step at a time, with each step depending on the previous one. The other choices, such as convergence and divergence, do involve multiple inputs or outputs, but they do not necessarily follow a stepwise sequence. Parallel processing, on the other hand, involves the simultaneous processing of multiple stimuli or pieces of information.
