This scenario illustrates the spread of activation, as Marc's initial thought about the zoo leads to his memory of reading a book about tigers, which then leads to the mention of the new library being easy to use. The activation of one memory triggers the activation of related memories, leading to a chain or spread of activation. The other options (construction, deactivation, and reconstruction of working memory) do not accurately describe this phenomenon.
