Solution

The correct option is C Calls forth
"Summon(s)" generally means to call something or someone. Here, when the writer says "the hubbub summons sense-memories" it means that the hubbub brings to the forefront of his mind the sense-memories. Thus we can conclude that 'summons' best means 'call forth' in the given context. Thus B is the best answer.
