The best action for Sabrina to take to improve her speaking skills in the future is A. to take notes on the topic and choose a few ideas to share.
Next time Sabrina should not only research the topic but she should also keep notes so that she doesn't forget all the information she finds. Also, although she could take notes about many different points on the topic she should focus on some of these ideas to share and she should choose these ideas beforehand.
