Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The extension educational process is a cyclical framework used in agricultural and community development to facilitate learning and change. The logical sequence of the provided steps is:
1. Situation \& Objectives (C): The process begins by analyzing the current situation (e.g., community needs, resources, challenges) and setting clear, measurable objectives to address identified issues.
2. Teaching (A): Educational content, methods, and activities (e.g., demonstrations, workshops) are delivered to farmers or learners to achieve the objectives, fostering knowledge and skill development.
3. Evaluation (D): The effectiveness of the teaching is assessed through feedback, surveys, or outcome measurements to determine if objectives were met and to identify areas for improvement.
4. Reconsideration (B): Based on evaluation results, the programme is reviewed, and adjustments are made to strategies, objectives, or methods, restarting the cycle for continuous improvement.
Note: The question mentions five steps, but only four are listed. The fifth step, often “Planning” (designing the programme), is implied and precedes Teaching, fitting within the Situation \& Objectives phase. The provided order (C), (A), (D), (B) is logical, making option (4) correct.
