Sensory memory is the type of memory that holds information from our senses for a very brief period (usually less than a second). This information is quickly either transferred to short-term memory or forgotten entirely. Short-term memory, on the other hand, holds information for up to about 20-30 seconds without rehearsal. Explicit and implicit memory are both types of long-term memory and can last for days, weeks, or even years. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
