None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -iconic memory. a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second. echoic memory. a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds.
Detailed explanation-2: -the brief retention of an image of a visual stimulus beyond cessation of the stimulus. This iconic image usually lasts less than a second. In a multistore model of memory, iconic memory precedes short-term memory. Also called visual sensory memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Iconic memory, or visual sensory memory, holds visual information. It’s a type of sensory memory, just like echoic memory. But iconic memory is much shorter. It lasts for less than half a second.
Detailed explanation-4: -Iconic memory is a form of sensory memory that stores visual short-term impressions and sensations. Sensory memory is ultra-short-term memory that lasts only milliseconds for most people following stimulus offset or onset.
Detailed explanation-5: -So, cognitive psychologists divide memory into the first 15-30 seconds, and they call this short-term memory, and alllllll the rest of memory that lasts beyond 30 seconds is long-term memory.
