Explanation
★The genuine characteristics of teaching here are 1, 3 and 5, so that is the answer.
★Effective teaching must include some feedback, since the teacher needs to know whether learning is happening.
★Teaching implies making others learn, which is the very heart of what teaching is.
★There can be teaching without formal communication, as much learning is guided informally.
★Saying teaching merely means organizing and supervising reduces it to management and misses the learning aim.
★Saying teaching requires convincing others turns it into persuasion, which is not a basic requirement of teaching.
