This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

(a), (b) and (c)

The question asks specifically for techniques a teacher uses to teach, so the test is whether the teacher conducts the activity or the learner does it independently.

Lecture, item (a), is the classic teacher-led technique, in which the teacher presents material directly to the class. Interactive lecture, item (b), is a refinement of it, with questions, discussion and learner responses built into the presentation so that the class participates rather than merely listens. Group work, item (c), is also a teaching technique: although the students work together, it is the teacher who designs the task, forms the groups, sets the objective and monitors and consolidates the outcome.

Self study, item (d), is different in kind. It is an activity the learner undertakes on their own, outside the teacher's direct conduct of a lesson. A teacher may certainly encourage or assign it, but it is a mode of learning rather than a technique the teacher uses while teaching, which is what the question asks about.

Since (a), (b) and (c) are teacher-conducted techniques while (d) is not, the first code applies.

Hence the techniques used by a teacher to teach are (a), (b) and (c).
