Answer 1

Answer: B) Elaborative rehearsal

Explanation: Elaborative rehearsal is the technique through which a term is recalled or remembered along with its meaning to create a connection with something an individual knows about that term.It is considered as the effective method for memorizing the terms for long period of time. It can be done by viewing images, example etc.
