C
No help, can do it
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development. The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scaffolding consists of the activities provided by the educator, or more competent peer, to support the student as he or she is led through the zone of proximal development.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main idea of the Zone of proximal development is that a person with more knowledge can enhance a student’s learning by guiding them through a task slightly above their aptitude. As the learner gains more competence, the expert steadily stops guidance until the learner becomes able to do the task by themselves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Essentially, scaffolding is the help/support that takes place in the zone of proximal development. As the child begins to learn and master the skill, the support provided by the teacher decreases until eventually the child can begin to do the task on their own.
