Answer: D
Disruption of memory by information that comes afterwards is retroactive interference.
In retroactive interference, new learning works backwards to impair recall of older material: after learning list A and then list B, recall of list A suffers. Proactive interference is the reverse, where earlier learning disrupts recall of later material.
Positive, negative and zero transfer describe the effect of earlier learning on the learning of a new task (helping, hindering or having no effect), not the forgetting of earlier material caused by later learning.
