According to the National Curriculum Framework 2005 (NCF 2005), what should be the main objective of teaching Environmental Studies at the primary level?

Explanation

According to the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005, the primary objective of teaching Environmental Studies (EVS) at the primary level is to connect children's school knowledge with their external life, environment, and real-life experiences.

• Option B is correct because NCF 2005 strongly emphasizes bridging the gap between school learning and children's daily lives outside the classroom.
• Options A, C, and D promote rote memorization, high-stress academic preparation, and theoretical burdens, which are discouraged by modern pedagogical principles.
