Correct answer: (B) 2, 3 & 4 only
Explanation
A flexible system of study, encouragement of an earn-and-learn approach and freedom from regular attendance are genuine advantages of distance education.
Statement 2 lets learners study at their own pace, place and time.
Statement 3 allows them to work and study together, easing financial pressure.
Statement 4 removes the need for daily classroom presence.
Statement 1 free education for all is false, and Statement 5 calling it a high and complex method of knowledge acquisition misrepresents its accessibility.
Distance education thus widens access for working adults and remote learners.
