A
Short-Term Memory
B
Long-Term Memory
C
Sensory Memory
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Long-term memory refers to the transfer of information from short-term memory into long-term storage in order to create enduring memories. This type of memory is unlimited in capacity and stable-lasting for years or even a lifetime.

Detailed explanation-2: -Long‐term memory. Long‐term memory (LTM) has an unlimited capacity and a very long duration; it is virtually limitless. Repetition and elaborative rehearsal (manipulation of information by giving it meaning) are helpful techniques in storing information in LTM.

Detailed explanation-3: -Long-Term Memory. Long-term memory refers to unlimited storage information to be maintained for long periods, even for life. There are two types of long-term memory: declarative or explicit memory and non-declarative or implicit memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -The capacity of long-term memory is thought to be virtually unlimited. However, our memory bank may need to be pruned regularly to ensure that the information most important for behavior can be stored and accessed efficiently.

Detailed explanation-5: -Experiments conducted since the 1950s have shown that the average person has the ability to hold seven (plus or minus two) items in their short-term memory. This is in contrast with long term memory which has the ability to hold almost unlimited amounts of information for an entire lifetime.
