D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phenomena. Chase and Ericsson (1982 as cited in Anderson, 1995) have suggested that experts have a advantage in long-term memory over novices. Experts have been shown an increased capacity to store domain specific information (Anderson, 1995).

Detailed explanation-2: -Several characteristics differentiate experts from novices: experts know more, their knowledge is better organized and integrated, they have better strategies for accessing knowledge and using it, and they are self-regulated and have different motivations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Experts, therefore, don’t necessarily have better memories or think faster than novices, but they are able to employ strategies that place less strain on working memory, while their problem solving strategies depend on the knowledge already available. In other words, the more we know, the less we have to think.
