The research suggests that the presence of others can detract from learning only if the task is difficult or challenging. Therefore, if Kari finds the task of memorizing lines difficult, the presence of others could potentially detract from her ability to learn them. Choices A, B, and C do not have any research-backed evidence indicating that they would detract from learning.
