Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Speed readers have briefer fixations, meaning they spend less time on each word and move their eyes more quickly to the next word. This allows them to read faster while still comprehending the material. A faster saccade or larger fovea does not necessarily contribute to speed reading ability. Remembering more detail may vary among individuals and is not a defining characteristic of speed reading.
