Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Autonomy is all about exploration, experimentation and learning from mistakes. A safe and free environment with ample opportunities to experiment, manipulate objects and explore their surroundings helps children in the autonomous stage. Children also need to have opportunities to take on new challenges and to exert independence, therefore a space where they are not confined is necessary. A space with lots of projects to make and take home may support creativity and imagination but it does not necessarily support autonomy. Hearing the word "no" often can lead to frustration and hinder exploration and experimentation.
