Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
This is the most accurate statement, as research suggests that learning involves physical changes in the brain, such as the growth of new neural connections or strengthening of existing ones. Option A is incorrect, as nerve fibers are not involved in storing memories. Option B is incorrect, as forgetting is a normal and common phenomenon. Option D is also incorrect, as memory processes can be long-lasting but are distinct from the learning process.
