DIt is more efficient and saves time

Correct answer: (B) It can limit opportunities for students' creativity and critical thinking

Explanation

A drawback is that it can limit students' creativity and critical thinking.

Teacher centred instruction keeps the teacher as the main source.

Students mostly receive information rather than explore it.

This leaves fewer chances for independent, creative thinking.

So it can restrict creativity and critical thinking.
