This is an example of C. Episodic memory.

Explanation:

Memory is the process by which the brain is able to codify and store information, being able to recall things from the past.

Episodic memory is a specific type of memory which refers to an individual's autobiography and personal experiences and events, such as times and locations, for example.

In this case, Paula's episodic memory allows her to vividly remember her hospital experience and the birth of her first baby since it is an autobiographical event.
