Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Distance education separates the teacher and learner by place or time and uses mediated instruction.
Its advantages arise from access and flexibility. Neither automatic fee-free study nor a complex learning process is an inherent advantage.
Application
A flexible education system lets learners choose a workable pace and schedule.
The earn-and-learn approach allows learners to continue employment while studying.
Because learning is not tied to daily classroom participation, regular campus attendance is not required.
Contrast
Free education, flexibility, and earn-and-learn mixes a funding claim with two delivery advantages; distance mode does not by itself waive fees.
Earn-and-learn, no regular attendance, and a high and complex acquisition method includes complexity, which is a barrier rather than an advantage.
Free education, no regular attendance, and a high and complex acquisition method includes two claims that are not inherent advantages of distance delivery.
Result
Therefore, the advantages are a flexible education system, the earn-and-learn approach, and freedom from regular attendance.
