Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The modality principle suggests that people learn better from multimedia presentations when information is presented via audio (spoken words) rather than on-screen text, especially when accompanied by graphics. This is because it reduces the cognitive load on the visual channel by distributing the processing between both the visual and auditory channels.
