Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is believed that long-term memory has an unlimited capacity for storing information, therefore option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the capacity of short-term memory, not long-term memory. Option B is incorrect because it is a general estimate and not based on any scientific data. Option C is incorrect because while brain size can contribute to memory capacity, it is not the only factor and is not a limiting factor for long-term memory storage.
