The correct answer is B) procedural.

Alexander's knowledge of how to play golf represents the procedural memory.

The procedural memory belongs to the long-term memory. It is the memory that is responsible for remembering how to do certain things such as in the case of Alexander, how to play golf. This memory remembers motor skills. This is no conscious thought and allows natural human movements such as walking, jumping, or moving.

The other options of the question were A) sensory. C) noninductive. D) Iconic.
