Therefore, the answer correctly conveys the meaning of the original phrase in Spanish.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yo llamé a mi madre, yo llamé a mi mamá" because both phrases mean "I called my mother" in Spanish. The use of "yo llamé" indicates that the speaker performed the action of calling, and "a mi madre" and "a mi mamá" both mean "my mother" in different ways.
