Answer 1

Answer: d. she has not yet found the cues that will help her retrieve the information from long-term memory.

Explanation:

We can remember memories from hours to decades with the help of long term memory. We can retrieve information from long term memory when we want. But those memories needs cue to retrieve. If there is no cue we can't retrieve memories from long term memory. In given case Danielle has not yet found any cue. That's why she failed to retrieve information.
