Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. A direct relationship to the overall course objectives

Why the other options are wrong
- A. Objectives should be tailored, not identical regardless of student experience.
- C. The instructor, not the student, selects lesson content based on objectives.
- D. Content should be relevant and appropriately timed, not padded to fill time.
