C
Semantic memory
D
Declarative memory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of procedural memories are knowledge of how to ride a bike or drive a car, how to play the drums, how to solve a puzzle, and how to walk.

Detailed explanation-2: -Procedural memory refers to our knowledge of skills and how to perform tasks, and is something we mostly remember automatically. We generally don’t need to consciously think about how to ride a bike or play an instrument: we simply go through the motions once we’ve learned how to do it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Procedural memory is a type of implicit memory (unconscious, long-term memory) which aids the performance of particular types of tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences.

Detailed explanation-4: -Classic but simple examples of procedural learning include learning how to ride a bicycle, learning how to knit or crochet, learning how to use a computer keyboard, or even learning the skills necessary to play a musical instrument such as a piano.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the name implies, procedural memory stores information on how to perform certain procedures, such as walking, talking and riding a bike. Delving into something in your procedural memory does not involve conscious thought.
