Answer:

D. short-term memory.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you hear a phone number and write it down, your brain uses short term memory.Short-term memory refers to the things that people are thinking about in the moment and that are available during a small period as it has a limit to what you can hold. According to this, when you hear a number and write it down your brain uses short-term memory because it is a recent event that you remember in the moment but that you will forget after a period of time.
