Haha, I bet David's going to be the king of cleaning after this training! Option C with the checklist sounds like a great way to set him up for success in the real world.

I agree with Bambi. Option D is the worst choice here. You want to create a training environment that closely matches the actual job to help David transfer those skills effectively.

Option D seems like it would be the least likely to promote generalization. You want to make the workshop environment as similar to the real-life cleaning job as possible, not make it distinctive and then slowly change it.
