The question asks about why Suzy's frontal lobe is very active when imagining butterflies, which is unexpected. This suggests that Suzy may be engaging in some sort of higher-level cognition, such as planning her party. The other options are not likely to be causing activity in the frontal lobe while imagining butterflies.
