A. Students are passive learners
B. Teacher act as facilitator for learning
C. Teacher directs learning activities
D. Learning is based on collaboration between students
E. Learning is based on student interest
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

B. Teacher acts as a facilitator for learning: This statement is not applicable to teacher-centered methods.
 
D. Learning is based on collaboration between students: This statement is not applicable to teacher-centered methods.
 
E. Learning is based on student interest: This statement is not applicable to teacher-centered methods.
 
So, the answer (c) suggests that teacher-centered methods include the facilitation by the teacher and a focus on student interest. It's important to note that teacher-centered methods typically involve the teacher being the central authority in the classroom, directing learning activities, and students being passive recipients of knowledge. This is contrary to the typical characteristics of student-centered methods where collaboration and student interest play a more prominent role.
