The question is asking about memory types that we are aware of (i.e. conscious effort is involved in encoding/ retrieving them) versus memory types that are learned without conscious awareness. Semantic and episodic memories are both conscious efforts because they are explicit/ declarative memories that require conscious effort. Implicit memories, on the other hand, are not conscious because they are non-declarative memories that are not consciously recalled (e.g. procedural memories). Therefore, option D, explicit and implicit memories, best fits the description provided.
