Elements that make "Walden" a memoir:

- It is told from a first-person point of view.

- It focuses on an important experience.

- It provides information about the author's life.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" is a memoir, because it's about his very personal experience of living close to nature, leading a simple lifestyle in the cabin he built and his reflections on this experience.

It's an account of the author's personal point of view and it's told from a first-person point of view.

The other explanations do not match the definition of a memoir, because taking place over a short period of time does not necessarily make it a memoir (so could a novel or a short story), containing primarily transcendental ideas does not make it a memoir (so could other types of text as well) and emphasizing studying nature doesn't mean it's personal (so could a descriptive text).
