The correct answer is

A and D only

In a learner-centered teaching environment, the focus shifts from the teacher delivering content to students actively constructing their own understanding.
Point A is correct: students actively participate in their own learning by engaging in discussions, activities, and inquiry rather than passively receiving information.
Point D is correct: learners are given autonomy to make decisions about what and how they will learn, reflecting the principle of learner choice and self-directed learning.
Point B is incorrect because being passive listeners describes a teacher-centered classroom, where the teacher is the primary source of information and students merely receive it; this contradicts the active-engagement principle of learner-centered teaching.
Point C is incorrect because learner-centered teaching explicitly recognizes and accommodates individual differences in abilities, learning styles, and pace, rather than assuming all students have similar abilities.
Therefore, the correct combination is A and D only.
