The correct answer is episodic memory.

Episodic memory refers to an individual's unique and personal (autobiographical) memory of a certain event, experience or situation in his or her life. In this instance, James's memory of his first interview with his boss is an episodic memory because it is a memory of something James personally experienced. Another example of an episodic memory is remembering the day, time and sequence of events that occurred when you broke a bone.
