Why not option B ?

It must be recall because here 'retain' deals with the information that has been provided in class & information in regards with student's memory must be recall.

Retain means how long something can be remembered/attained by someone. So recall best suits to it, because above sentence belongs to information/knowledge delivered in class lecture and not to any thing to keep.

Retain means keep something. So keep is the correct answer.

I think retain means returning or retriving any value or any thing. So I think "B" is correct.

Pick up the one which is most nearly the same in meaning as the word printer in bold and can replaces it without altering the meaning of the sentence. Here, Keep and retain are synonyms. Recall is a good option but it changes the meaning. So keep is more appropriate answer in this sentence.
