C Correct answer
Explanation

Extensive reading for pleasure is a personal, voluntary activity that happens outside formal testing conditions. It cannot be reliably assessed through written examinations as it depends on individual choice, time, and engagement level. Options A, B, and D (reading for information, vocabulary meaning, text analysis) are all skills that can be tested through structured written questions and passages.
