Explanation:

To answer this question, lets first look at the term learning. So, what is Learning?

Simply learning is a permanent change that occur in your behavior due to an acquisition of a new skill, experience, knowledge and value. in addition, learning is a live process that requires both curiosity and self-motivation.

if we look at Jonathan, he got all the skills required to be defined as a "life long learner". Although he is a cashier, he enrolled in an accountancy course to advance further in his carrier. Moreover, rather than just focusing on accounting, he pays attention to all the things and functions in his job which is another good quality of a successful learner.

All the others mentioned in this question are either content with their current position or believe that they have enough experience and knowledge, so that they are not motivated to learn "more".

Plus,

hating their jobs, thinking that there is not much to learn from others, being content with already existing experience and knowledge

are not characteristics of an effective learner.

the answer is ... C
