Just and Carpenter (1980, 1987, 1992) used the term "regressive movements" to refer to the tendency of poor readers to go back and re-read portions of text they've already read. Foveation fixation (A) refers to the act of fixating or focusing on a specific area of an image, saccadic return (C) refers to quickly moving the eyes back to a previous fixation point, and functional processing (D) is not related to the topic of returning to previous words while reading.
