Correct answer: (A) The syllabus is an annexure to the curriculum

Explanation

The correct statement is that the syllabus is an annexure to the curriculum, a part contained within the wider whole.

Curriculum being the same in all institutions (B) is false, as it varies with aims and context.

Curriculum including both formal and informal education (C) is inaccurate, since curriculum is planned and formal.

Curriculum not including methods of evaluation (D) is false, because evaluation is an integral part of it.

Curriculum is the total planned experience, of which the syllabus is the subject-content outline.

Curriculum covers aims, content, methods and evaluation, while the syllabus lists the topics of a subject.
