False
B
Real
C
Either A or B
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: -Usually, scaffolding and ZPD are related to elementary and preschool classrooms. But, these concepts can also be implemented outside the school setting. For example, a parent teaches their child how to ride a bike. Or a student is learning how to solve a math problem from their friend.

Detailed explanation-3: -To apply the concept of the zone of proximal development, teachers instruct in small steps according to the tasks a child is already able to do independently. This strategy is referred to as scaffolding. The teacher should also support and assist the child until he or she can complete all of the steps independently.
