Answer:

B) A mnemonic device

Step-by-step explanation:

Mnemonic devices are methods that can be used by an individual to help them improve their ability to remember. In certain words, helping the brain properly interpret and remember important information is a memory technique.

It is a quick workaround that allows everyone to connect with an image, a phrase, or a word the details we want to recall.

It's simply a means to memorize information so it sticks longer in our brain and can be more easily remembered in the future.
