Correct Answer: an artificial aid or extension of the mind

The sentence "examinations still test the mind without its prosthesis" treats the device as an artificial extension that the mind normally leans on — removed during exams. "An artificial aid or extension of the mind" matches this sense; the literal medical meaning in (a) does not fit the context.
