[tinashine20]

Psychologists know that the human brain can retain strong memories of trauma, but this is also true of good experiences as well.

A. this is also true of good experiences
B. good experiences can
C. good experiences can be
D. it is true of good experiences
E. it retains strong memories of good experiences

I would go with E since we are referring to human brain here which is a single entity.We need a pronoun that can refer to the subject which is human brain.B and C do not have the relevant antecedent referring to the subject.Hence they are ruled out we need something that refers to the human brain for which we consider options D and E.D seems to sound awkward since the noun experiences is not supported by a relevant verb.E explains this part clearly and supports the noun experiences too with retains.

A.) also and as well are redundant. this alone cannot refer to a noun or the fact here.

It would have been better to say "this fact is true of good situations as wel".

B and C - incomplete sentences.

D.) "it" cannot refer to the psychologists knowing.
E.) CORRECT - "it" refers to human brain and frames a proper clause after "but".
