DTo ask students to go to the library

Correct answer: (C) To start a discussion and encourage students to participate in it

Explanation

The best method of teaching is to start a discussion and encourage students to take part in it.

Imparting knowledge to students (A) is one-way transmission with passive learners.

Asking students to self-learn from books (B) leaves them without guidance or interaction.

Asking students to go to the library (D) offers no structured teaching or engagement.

The discussion method is learner-centred, fostering active thinking and expression.

It reflects the constructivist view that learners build understanding through participation.
