Answer

**Conscious**.PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) was stored in your long-term memory. While you weren't actively thinking about it, the information was readily available to be retrieved and brought into your **conscious** awareness when your teacher asked the question. This act of remembering and recalling information demonstrates a conscious process.
