Option C

This principle recognizes that the ability to recall can be made easier by matching the context or the occurrences when the memory was formed. Using the stored memory requires memory retrieval techniques that depend on encoding patterns.  

These patterns vary since the same retrieval techniques may not be used to recall similar information or occurrences. Encoding cues that are employed in the case of someone forgetting something in the room include recreating the scene by going back to where one started and maybe hold/touch the same item as before.
