Options

B. Desire to remember
C. Mental conflict
D. Defective methods of remembering

Answer

B

Explanation

Forgetting is the inability to remember. Psychologists generally use the term forgetting to refer to the apparent loss of information already encoded and stored in long-term memory. Desire to remember actually aids in the process of learning and remembering. While under-learning, mental conflict and defective methods of remembering actually hampers the way of learning and hence they lead to forgetting.
