The correct answer is kim performs better because of reactivation

A good night's sleep after studying helps in learning.

Sleep well - between 8 and 12 hours, according to experts - helps neurons to form specific connections responsible for fixing recent memory. It is during sleep that brain cells work, forming new memories and strengthening the information that was previously learned.
