Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Studies of sentence comprehension indicate that while a clause is actively being processed, its exact wording is preserved in memory (A), and after processing, only the general meaning is retained (B). It's also noted that people often don't consciously notice ambiguities in sentences (C). However, choice D is incorrect because it contradicts A by stating that we do not process exact wording in memory at all, which is not true during the active processing phase.
