Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Giving primacy to children's experiences and active participation
1. NCF 2005 defines child-centred pedagogy directly.
2. It means giving primacy to children's experiences, their voices, and their active participation.
3. It requires planning learning in keeping with children's psychological development and interests, not abandoning guidance.
4. The other options distort this into neglect or licence, so giving primacy to children's experiences is correct.
