Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Krashen and Terrell
1. The Natural Approach is a comprehension-based methodology of 1983.
2. It was developed by Krashen and Terrell from Krashen's input hypothesis.
3. Skinner and Watson are behaviourists.
4. Prabhu, Widdowson, Halliday and Hymes worked on other approaches.
