C) working memory - lasts a few seconds
D) short-term memory - relatively permanent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory memory has a large capacity for holding sensory information for a brief period of time before it is either transferred to long-term memory or forgotten.

Answer: D
 Short-term memory is a temporary store for holding a limited amount of information for a short amount of time, typically about 20-30 seconds, and it can be displaced by new information if not rehearsed.

(Note: The statements for B and C are incorrect, as long-term memory is a relatively permanent store for memories, and working memory lasts for a few seconds to minutes and is important for manipulating information and problem-solving.)
