The phonological loop is responsible for the temporary storage and rehearsal of auditory information. In this scenario, repeating the time and location of the meeting to oneself is a form of auditory rehearsal, indicating use of the phonological loop. The other options are not relevant in this context - the visuo-spatial sketchpad deals with visual information, long-term memory is not being used for temporary information storage, and iconic memory refers to the very brief visual memory system that lasts for only a fraction of a second.
