Correct answer: D. Implicit memory involves a conscious recollection of the original events.
- A. Explicit memory involves conscious awareness of the original information or the situation in which the learning occured.
- B. Implicit memory refers to an influence on behaviour, feelings or thoughts as a result of prior expeience,
- C. Explicit memory involves recollection of the original information or experience that is subsequently recalled.

Implicit memory affects behaviour, feelings, or thoughts without conscious recollection, whereas explicit memory involves consciously remembering learned information or an earlier experience. Therefore, conscious recollection of the original event describes explicit, not implicit, memory.
