To aid her memory, she has created a unique "mental walk" that she takes to recall each recipe. For each one, she has a familiar "route" she can imagine walking through (e.g., from the end of her driveway to her living room) where she places each item in the recipe somewhere along the way (e.g., fish sauce splattered on the front door) . By doing so, Trinh is using ___________ to organize her memories.

A) mental synthesis
B) paired-associate learning
C) the pegword technique
D) the method of loci
