The passage states that after high school, the participant could recognize names and faces with 90% accuracy. However, forty years later, when asked to identify classmates and recall their names, the accuracy was not as high. The passage specifically states that the participant could recognize faces with almost 80% accuracy but only recall 17% of their names. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
