Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
George Miller proposed that short-term memory has a limited capacity of about seven (plus or minus two) chunks of information. This is also known as Miller's Law or the Magical Number Seven. Explicit and implicit memory refer to different types of long-term memory, which are not directly related to Miller's theory of short-term memory capacity.
