This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Electronic Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

A, B, C, D and E

This item tests the classic framework of cooperative learning formulated by David and Roger Johnson. Their model specifies five essential elements that must all be present for group work to count as genuinely cooperative rather than mere group seating.

The five elements, each of which appears in the list, are:

  • Individual accountability — every member is held responsible for their own share and for mastering the material, so no one can hide behind the group.
  • Positive interdependence — members are linked so that one succeeds only if all succeed; the group truly needs each person.
  • Promotive interaction — members actively help, encourage and support one another's efforts, often face to face.
  • Social skills — interpersonal skills such as communication, trust-building, leadership and conflict resolution are deliberately taught and practised.
  • Group processing — the group reflects on how well it is working and decides what to keep doing or change.

Since all five listed items are authentic components of the model, no smaller subset is correct. The combinations that name only four elements, or only two, or only three, each omit at least one genuine element and are therefore incomplete.

Correct answer: A, B, C, D and E
