Correct answer: (C) To follow a rigid teaching plan

Explanation

Following a rigid teaching plan is not an objective of teaching; good teaching stays flexible.

Helping students become better thinkers (A) is a genuine teaching objective.

Facilitating problem-solving ability (B) is a genuine objective.

Helping learners adjust perceptions to reality and harmonise experiences (D) is a genuine objective.

Teaching aims to develop thinking, adjustment and problem-solving, not blind adherence to a plan.

A plan should guide, not constrain, responsive teaching.
