Correct answer: C. Semantic
- A. Phonological
- B. Syntactic

- D. Acoustic
Explanation
Craik and Lockhart’s levels-of-processing framework predicts that semantic processing creates the deepest and most durable memory trace, producing the highest recall. Phonological, syntactic, and acoustic processing focus on surface features and are therefore shallower.
