Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research suggests that students are more intrinsically motivated and engaged when they have more control over their learning and there are fewer external incentives. A classroom with a self-directed learning approach can provide this type of environment. This does not mean that the teacher has no role in facilitating learning, but rather that students have more responsibility for their own learning.
