Jacques is using maintenance rehearsal by simply repeating the same information over and over without adding any meaning or elaboration to it. On the other hand, Pierre is using elaborative rehearsal by creating connections and associations between the Spanish vocabulary words and English words, which is more likely to lead to a deeper understanding and better retention of the information. Therefore, choice C, elaborative rehearsal for Pierre and maintenance rehearsal for Jacques, is the correct answer.
