Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Physical and emotional security
1. NCF 2005 stresses that children learn only where they feel valued.
2. It states the association of learning with fear and stress, rather than enjoyment, is detrimental to learning.
3. It concludes that physical and emotional security is the cornerstone for all learning, from primary to secondary years.
4. Fear, exam pressure and a big textbook are conditions the document opposes, so physical and emotional security is correct.
