the communicative approach
B
the natural approach
C
the direct method
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Just as there’s a “silent period” when babies don’t utter a single comprehensible word, the Natural Approach gives time for learners to simply listen and absorb the language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like the direct method, the audio-lingual method advised that students should be taught a language directly, without using the students’ native language to explain new words or grammar in target language.

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite the fact that some theories have come to the fore from time to time to explain how children acquire a language skill. There are three pivot approaches to this issue dominating the lit-erature which are the behaviourist, the linguistic, and the in-teractionist approaches (Maviş, 2007).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Silent Way is the name of a method of language teaching devised by Caleb Gattegno. It is based on the premise that the teacher should be silent as much as possible in the classroom but the learner should be encouraged to produce as much language as possible.
