A
retrograde
B
anterograde
C
primary
D
secondary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amnesia can result from damage to brain structures that form the limbic system, which controls emotions and memories. They include the thalamus found deep within the center of the brain. They also include the hippocampal formations found within the temporal lobes of the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anterograde amnesia is the most common. It is the loss of ability to form memories for a period of time after the accident, leading the individual not to “remember” a period of time after the traumatic head injury. Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories that formed before a traumatic head injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -RETROGRADE AMNESIA Retrograde amnesia causes you to lose memories you had before the car accident. Caused by a severe blow to the head, this type of memory loss after a car accident can be short-term or long-term.

Detailed explanation-4: -As cells die, the brain shrinks. The damaged areas of the brain include the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain that helps new memories form. Damage to the frontal lobe of the brain eventually causes problems with intelligence, judgment, and behaviour. Damage to the temporal lobe affects memory.
