After studying and learning a topic, students remember most if they then spend an equivalent amount of time
A
Studying it again in a single session
B
Studying it again in shorter, multiple sessions
C
Studying it again, and then being tested on it
D
Repeatedly being tested on it, with no further study
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The very act of memorizing is a substitute for understanding, which is the key to retaining (as in learning) information. To memorize information for a test in order to repeat information on the test inevitably results in forgetting the information after the test.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use of mnemonics is a highly effective way to help students (with and without disabilities) recall and retrieve the new information you teach. They’re fun, easy to learn and use, and cost you nothing to implement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Research has shown that some “common sense” study techniques-such as always reading in the same quiet location, or spending hours at a time concentrating on one subject-don’t promote long-term learning.

Detailed explanation-4: -Practice testing can be done by an instructor, or students can test on their own. There is a great deal of research to support practice testing. Dunlosky et al. found that it enhanced students’ learning and retention of material across hundreds of studies.
