The correct answer is B. There is little chance of missing vital information

Explanation:

The word "memorizing" refers to the process of learning and remembering something exactly as it is, this means when you memorize a speech you remember all the information of it in the same order and with the same words and expressions. In most cases, it is not recommended to memorize a speech because this makes the speech over-rehearsed, less flexible and acted, which is not desirable during a speech. However, there are some advantages of memorizing a speech as this would allow the speaker to be familiarized with all the words and ideas of the speech and also guarantees the speaker would not forget any important information, because by memorizing the speech the speaker would be able to explain all the ideas in it in an organized way. Considering this an advantage or positive point of memorizing a speech is that "there is little chance of missing vital information".
