Question Stem -
According to the passage, Clayton's experiment depended on the fact that scrub jays
Since this is a specific question, answer must follow from the information given in passage-

A.recall "when" and "where" information more distinctly than "what" information - INCORRECT - Checkout Clayton's theory. Its what, "what," "where,"and "when" information and their binding of this information.
B.are not able to retain information about a single past event for an indefinitely long period of time - No evidence given
C.choose peanuts over crickets when the crickets have been stored for a long period of time -
Here is the information from passage-
Clayton's birds switched their preference from crickets to peanuts once the food had been stored for a certain length of time, showing that they retain information about the what, the where, and the whenD.choose crickets over peanuts whenever both are available - might be true. but, this information doesn't form the basis of Clayton's theory.
What forms the basis is the preference changes when Crickets degrades, that's the reason clayton is going to answer his theory of What, where and when.
If you are Scientist performing some experiment, then what is your expected result will form the basis. Hence, this is not a valid answer. Check out above option, it clearly maps with clayton's theory
E.prefer peanuts that have been stored
for a short period to crickets that have been stored for a short period - I couldn't find highlighted part in passage.
