Detailed Explanation
In David Ausubel's Meaningful Verbal Learning Theory, the 'Advance Organizer' is a crucial concept. It is an instructional technique where a framework of high abstraction and inclusiveness is presented before teaching detailed lessons.

- Reduces reliance on rote memorization and promotes meaningful learning.
Therefore, Option (b) is the most authentic and scientifically valid statement.
