Over-activation of parts of the brain not typically involved in reading in individuals with dyslexia suggests that
A
Readers with dyslexia are more likely to be gifted
B
Readers with dyslexia are move likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
C
Readers with dyslexia may rely on other systems of the brain to read words rather than the process of mapping graphemes to phonemes
D
Readers with dyslexia would benefit from medication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The observed functional and behavioral differences in individuals with developmental dyslexia have been complemented by reports of reduced gray matter in left parietotemporal, occipitotemporal areas, fusiform and lingual gyrus and the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ordinary readers use the left temporal area for sounding out words. Poor readers do not use the left temporal area to find the sounds of words. Capable dyslexic readers show greater reliance on right brain areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexics show disruptions in the rear reading system in the left hemisphere, critical for reading fluently. There is more activation in the less efficient right hemisphere, thought to be a compensation method.

Detailed explanation-4: -Overview. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called a reading disability, dyslexia is a result of individual differences in areas of the brain that process language.
