Retrograde amnesia refers to the inability to retrieve memories of events that occurred before the onset of the amnesia, similar to losing a document due to a power loss. Anterograde amnesia, on the other hand, refers to the inability to form new memories after the onset of the amnesia, which is not analogous to pushing "save" and then losing the document. Therefore, the best choice is B.
