Answer:

Option d: Retrieval failure

Step-by-step explanation:

Forgetting simply known as the inability to retrieve former (previously) saved (stored) information from long term memory.

Retrieval failure is a form or type of forgetting.it is also called Cue-dependent forgetting. It occurs when we don't have the compulsory (necessary) cues to access memory. That is memory is said to be in place (available) but not readily accessible unless a suitable cue is provided.
