A
The serial position effect
B
Mood-Congruent memory
C

D
The Spacing effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In education, cramming is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of information in short amounts of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams, especially just before them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cramming just before an exam can (in theory) allow you to remember information in the short term and enable you to take in enough information for the exam. However, this may will most likely mean that you’ll have no lasting connections to the knowledge, and you won’t develop any deep understanding of the information.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is known as spaced practice or distributed practice. By “spacing” learning activities out over time (for example, 1 to 2 hours every other day, or at least once per week, rather than a 12-hour marathon cramming session), you will be able to learn more information and retain it longer.
