Answer:

The answer is c. encoding failure.

Explanation:

Encoding failure occurs when the brain is unable to form memory links. This is very likely to take place under certain mental conditions, such as drug use (this is the reason why some people can't remember what happens when they're drunk). However, encoding failure is also attributed to lack of attention, as the brain isn't really processing the information.
