Correct answer: (D) Learning necessarily implies development in the right direction — The answer is that learning necessarily implies development in the right direction.
Explanation
★The answer is that learning necessarily implies development in the right direction.
★Learning is a relatively enduring change in behaviour through experience.
★It does not always mean improvement, since bad habits can also be learned.
★It involves the reconstruction of past experiences.
★So it does not necessarily lead to development in the right direction.
★Hence that statement is not a characteristic of learning.
★So the answer is that learning necessarily implies development in the right direction.
