Answer: B

Explanation: The correct answer is letter B, Emotional Theory.

Memory has subsystems, one of those is the episodic memory; this particular subsystem is the only one that provides and storage information related to space and time (in other words, events). Not every space-time information lasts the same in this memory, one of the factors is the emotional weight of that event. When an event is new and has a big emotional weight, will probably be remembered better and will last longer.
