This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Summative assessment

The key phrase is 'conducted periodically with an eye on standards' - that is, assessment carried out at the end of defined periods (term, semester, unit) to judge the learner's achievement against fixed standards or benchmarks.

This describes summative assessment, which sums up learning at the conclusion of an instructional period and grades or certifies attainment relative to prescribed standards (e.g. term examinations, final tests).

Formative assessment is continuous and diagnostic, meant to guide ongoing learning rather than measure against final standards. Portfolio assessment collects a body of a learner's work over time to show growth, and performance assessment judges the learner doing an authentic task; neither is defined by periodic, standards-referenced judgement in the way summative assessment is. Hence the standards-oriented, periodic form is summative assessment.

Correct answer: Summative assessment
