Explanation

The correct set is that metacognition is thinking about one's own thinking, it controls one's cognitive and motivational processes, teaching people to learn fosters agency, and metacognitive knowledge and self-regulation are related.

The capacity to think about our own thinking is precisely metacognition.

Metacognition is instrumental in controlling our own cognitive and motivational processes.

Teaching people how to learn stems from fostering a sense of agency and responsibility in learners.

Metacognitive knowledge and self-regulation are related components of the same system.

The claim that metacognition does not help in teaching people how to learn is false, so that statement is excluded.

The term metacognition was coined by John Flavell in the 1970s.
