  4. stimuli
Explanation
Answer: C - The earliest stage of memory is sensory.
Key Takeaway: Sensory memory is a short lived memory of a sensory stimuli after it has ceased. For example, if you taste something sour, your tongue will remember its taste for a few seconds. If you observe someone’s flashlight, the memory will remain at the sensory receptor for less than 2 seconds. The same is true for touch, smell, and hearing sensory memory.
