In order to modify the undesirable behaviour of a student, the most effective method is
ATo punish the student
BTo bring it to the notice of parents
CTo find out the reasons for the undesirable behaviour and provide remedies ✓ Correct
DAll of the above
Correct answer: (C) To find out the reasons for the undesirable behaviour and provide remedies
Explanation
The most effective way to modify undesirable behaviour is to find its causes and provide remedies.
Behaviour is a symptom; lasting change comes from treating the underlying cause.
Punishing the student suppresses behaviour briefly but leaves the cause untouched.
Merely informing the parents shifts the issue without a diagnostic remedy.
Choosing all of the above wrongly equates punitive steps with a corrective, cause-based approach.
This diagnostic-remedial stance reflects a guidance-oriented view of discipline.
