D2, 4 only

Correct answer: (C) 1, 2, 3, 4

Explanation

The learner-centred approach emphasises skills, centres on the learner's needs, relies on cooperative determination of subject matter, and stresses variability of exposure, so all four statements apply.

Statement 1 fits because the focus shifts from content coverage to building competencies.

Statement 2 fits because instruction is planned around learner needs rather than the teacher's convenience.

Statement 3 fits because content is negotiated cooperatively with learners.

Statement 4 fits because varied experiences suit diverse learners.

This approach contrasts with the teacher-centred model where the teacher directs and transmits knowledge.
