Answer 2

The correct answer is crystallized knowledge.

Crystallized knowledge refers to the knowledge, information and understandings a person has accumulated in their lifespan.

Crystallized knowledge is similar to semantic memory, since the latter refers to long-term memory about facts, information and general knowledge.
