The correct option to answer your question is Option C) - Anterograde Amnesia.

Explanation:

The anterograde amnesia is defined as the inability to create new memories and this condition can lead to the partial or complete ability to recall events recently from the pas but long term memories stored before the event can be easily remembered.
