Ai-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d

Bi-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b ✓ Correct

Ci-b, ii-c, iii-a, iv-d

Di-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c

Correct answer: (B) i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b

Explanation

Declarative memory holds specific facts and events that can be described in verbal form in conscious storage, so i pairs with c.

Procedural memory is knowledge stored as skills and cognitive operations, so ii pairs with d.

Episodic memory is the recall of the where and when of personal life events, so iii pairs with a.

Semantic memory is a person's general knowledge about the world, so iv pairs with b.

Episodic and semantic are the two branches of declarative (explicit) memory, while procedural is non-declarative (implicit).

Endel Tulving introduced the episodic versus semantic distinction within long-term memory.
