Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
This process is called scaffolding, which is when a more skilled person provides support and guidance to a less skilled person as they learn and master a new skill. As the less skilled person becomes more proficient, the support and guidance provided by the more skilled person decreases gradually. This process is an example of Vygotsky's theory of the zone of proximal development, which suggests that learning and development occur best when a learner is supported to achieve tasks that are just beyond their current level of competence.
