Answer:d. all of the above.

Explanation:

When we are exposed to a new information it is very likely that our memory may change or be twisted maybe because by accepting this new information we will be likely to fit in a new group.

This can also happen without us being aware when our memory is distorted maybe because we are in a new environment being exposed to different kind of living than what we are used to may lead to unconscious reconstruction of memory.

You may start to forget what you were taught in your culture when you start to live with people of another culture or ethnicity this may occur unconsciously.

Leading question may lead us to lie maybe because being honest will get us into trouble hence we find ourselves changing what we remember in order to rescue ourselves.
