Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Retrieval cues are the words, images, or other bits of information that help access stored memories. LTPs (long-term potentiation) refer to the strengthening of connections between neurons that underlie memory formation, memory traces refer to the physical changes in the brain that store memories, and target stimuli are stimuli that a person is trying to remember or pay attention to, but they do not necessarily aid in the retrieval of stored memories.
