Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Option D is the best example of a Transactive Memory System as Julia and Nathan possess different knowledge but coordinate and share their expertise to remember important information about a client, enabling them to work more effectively as a team. This coordinated effort illustrates how members of a team work together to share knowledge and expertise, creating a reliable retrieval system for critical information.
