BStimulus situation, response and reinforcement
CAssimilation, accommodation and adaptation

Correct answer: (A) Activation, maintenance and direction — Bruner's discovery approach has the components of activation, maintenance and direction, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Bruner's discovery approach has the components of activation, maintenance and direction, so that is the answer.
★Activation rouses the learner's readiness and interest to begin exploring.
★Maintenance keeps that curiosity and effort going through the process of discovery.
★Direction guides the search so that the exploration leads towards the intended learning.
★Stimulus, response and reinforcement belong to behaviourism, not to Bruner's discovery view.
★Assimilation and accommodation belong to Piaget, so the three Bruner components are activation, maintenance and direction.
