Encoding is the set of processes used to decode, store, and retrieve information

Explanation:

The processing of memory in the human brain is performed in three steps: encoding the information, storing the information and retrieving the information.

Encoding refers to the process which puts the information into the memory system of the brain. The encoding can be done effortlessly without conscious awareness or it can be done with efforts with conscious awareness.

The memory is the process which decodes, stores and retrieves the information. Thus, the selected option is correct.
