Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This example illustrates relearning as a measure of memory retention. Relearning is the process of learning something again that has been previously learned but forgotten. In this case, Noah learned the piece at a young age but hadn't played it in years. When he sat down to practice, he was able to relearn it quickly, indicating that his memory of the piece was retained despite not practicing it regularly.
