Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 and 4 only

Explanation

Teaching means providing guidance and training, offering formal and informal education, and being an art to impart knowledge effectively.

Providing guidance and training (1) is a core characteristic of teaching.

Interaction between authorities (2) is administrative, not a feature of teaching.

Formal and informal education (3) and the art of imparting knowledge (4) define teaching.

Preparing policies for corporate bodies (5) is management work, unrelated to teaching.

Teaching is commonly described as a tripolar process linking teacher, learner and content.
