Answer:

A. Retrieval

Read Explanation:

In psychology, the process of getting information out of memory is called retrieval or recall. It is the final stage of memory, after encoding and retention. 

Memory is a system for processing information, and is often compared to a computer. The three main functions of memory are: 

  • Encoding: Inputting information into the memory system 

  • Storage: Retaining the encoded information 

  • Retrieval: Getting the information out of memory and back into awareness 

For a retrieval cue to be effective, it should match the desired target memory and the cue-target relationship should be distinctive.
