For motivating and remedial purposes, a teacher :

ACan beat her students.

BCan mildly beat her students.

CCan give some light punishments.

DCan not beat her students; it is taken as a crime. ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Can not beat her students; it is taken as a crime.

Explanation

For motivating and remedial purposes a teacher cannot beat students, because corporal punishment is treated as a crime.

Physical punishment damages a child's dignity and mental health rather than correcting behaviour.

Beating a student (option A) is a prohibited act, not a teaching method.

Mild beating (option B) is still physical violence and is equally prohibited.

Light punishments (option C) that are physical or humiliating are also barred under child-protection norms.

The Right to Education Act, 2009 explicitly bans physical punishment and mental harassment of children.
