Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about long - term memory:

• Short - term memory is temporary, not long - term, so the first option is wrong.
• Long - term memory can store large amounts of information, not small amounts, so the second option is wrong.
• Long - term memory has a very large, almost unlimited storage capacity, so the third option is correct.
• Long - term memory involves complex processes like encoding, storage, and retrieval, so it is not relatively simple, and the fourth option is wrong.

Answer:

Long - term memory has a storage capacity that is virtually unlimited.
