Final Answer : A, Explanation :  In Sperling's experiments, participants were able to remember an average of 9 out of 12 letters presented to them when asked to recall them immediately after the presentation. This means they were able to recall about 75% of the letters, which is still considered a good level of memory retention given the short amount of time the letters were presented for.
