Answer:
C. your episodic memory system
Explanation:
Episodic memory is the memory of autobiographical events that can be explicitly stated, thus is a kind of declarative memory (long-term memory referring to facts, data an events).
Episodic memory is part of the long-term memory and therefore it allows us to recall episodes that happened way back in the past. Episodic memory also has the characteristic that it allows us to recall when, where, how an event happened and the emotions associated with it.
In this example, you decide to go to a hypnotist and he asks you to remember and describe what sorts of things you did differently before you started smoking. The hypnotist is asking you to recall events that happened in the past and to describe them for him (therefore you have to be able to explicitly state them), he also is asking you for an specific period of time so you have to be able to recall the "when" and "how". Thus, the system you will most likely use to comply with this request will be the Episodic memory.
Note:
Procedural and non-declarative memory systems are both systems that store information that cannot be explicitly stated, thus, these systems wouldn't allow you to DESCRIBE to the hypnotist the things you used to do.
Permastore memory refers to a type of long-term memory that is formed only after extensive training or repetitions. (like algebra). Since the hypnotist is asking you to recall things from your past that had to do with your day-to-day habits, you will not likely use this memory system to comply with his request.
