Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Learning is a relatively enduring change in knowledge, skill, understanding, or behaviour that develops through experience and activity. It involves organizing and modifying experience, not merely short-term memorization or examination preparation.
Application
Apply this criterion to each statement:
(A) describes remembering and reproducing information in an examination. This is a limited study behaviour focused on immediate performance.
(B) describes synthesizing and organizing old and new experiences into a novel pattern. This is constructive learning through the reorganization of experience.
(C) describes activity that leaves a lasting effect on the learner. Durability distinguishes learning from a momentary response.
(D) describes acquiring, retaining, and modifying experience. These are central processes through which learning develops.
(E) describes preparation aimed only at obtaining good marks. That is an assessment-oriented goal, not a definition of learning.
Contrast and result
Statements (B), (C), and (D) express the experience-based and enduring nature of learning. Statements (A) and (E) reduce the process to examination performance. Therefore, the accepted combination is (B), (C), and (D) only.
