Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The semantic level of encoding involves processing information based on its meaning, which leads to a deeper and stronger memory trace than shallow processing based on physical or superficial characteristics (such as attentional or dyadic encoding). The triarchic level of encoding is a theory that describes three types of encoding (analytic, synthetic, and practical) but it is not considered as deep as semantic encoding. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
