The levels-of-processing principle suggests that memories that are processed more deeply (meaning they are thought about more during the storage process) are more easily retrievable than memories that are processed more shallowly. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Option A refers to the duration of short-term memory, which is not relevant to the levels-of-processing principle. Option B is not correct because the storage location (i.e. the depth in the cortical tissue) is not a direct factor in retrieval ease. Option D refers to a different principle of memory storage (i.e. the phonological loop), which is not the same as the levels-of-processing principle.
