✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) refers to the distance between what a child can solve independently (actual developmental level) and what they can solve with the guidance or collaboration of an adult or More Knowledgeable Other (MKO). 'Scaffolding' is the temporary support or assistance provided by a teacher or more knowledgeable person to the learner. As the learner masters performing the task independently, this support is gradually faded out. Option (c) provides the most scientifically and educationally accurate explanation of this concept.
