The correct answer is: B

Explanation:

Distributed practice is a memory strategy which states spreading studying throughout the semester or the week. It is the opposite of cramming. It is also said, according to the investigators, that the best way to learn, master and retain any content or skill is to distribute practice which involves going over the same material at least two or more sessions distributed a day apart.
