The correct answer is D. Choosing a topic

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading strategies involve procedures or techniques that facilitate the reading process usually by helping the reader to understand the information faster and remember it. This is used in different texts including literature. Some strategies include skimming, making predictions, taking notes, asking questions, among others. However, choosing a topic is not part of these strategies because this process does not facilitate the reading process and a reading strategy should be useful to texts of diverse topics rather than only the topic the reader chooses; also, this technique is mainly used in presentations, speeches or similar because in these cases it is possible to select a topic.

On the other hand, other options such as making predictions, asking questions or reading ahead are all reading strategies as they help the reader, for example, by predicting the topic, setting, plot, etc. of a story the reader can remember the information as he/she can compare the predictions with the information of the text.
