Correct answer: (C) 2 & 4 only

Explanation

Teacher-centred classroom management is marked by the teacher being the sole leader (2) and students getting limited responsibilities (4).

Discipline coming from self (1) reflects a student-centred approach, not teacher-centred.

Students acting as facilitators of classroom operations (3) also belongs to student-centred management.

In teacher-centred management the teacher directs and controls all activity.

Students hold few responsibilities and largely follow instructions.

Student-centred management, by contrast, shares authority and builds self-discipline.
