Answer:

B.) Rehearsal

Explanation:

Rehearsal is a cognitive process in which the information is repeated to learn and remember it.

There are two types of rehearsal: maintenance and elaborative.  In maintenance rehearsal a person reads aloud and repeats the material until it becomes a part o the working memory, the material also gets forgotten easily. It is also called rote learning.

In elaborative rehearsal, we connect the newly learned material with with the already existing long term memories. In this repetitive tactics are not successful.
