Context-dependent memory theory suggests that memory is enhanced when the physical and environmental contexts at encoding are similar to those at retrieval. Therefore, studying quietly in the classroom where the exam will take place is the most effective option as it provides the most similar context for retrieval during the exam. A, B, and D are less effective as they do not provide as similar of a context to the exam setting.
