The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve suggests that we forget 70 percent of new information within 24 hours. However, research has shown that we remember up to 80 percent of what we experience, do, or simulate, compared to 20 percent of what we read, and 30 percent of what we see. Therefore, the best choice is C, which states that we remember 30 percent of what we see. The other options are not supported by research.
