Answer

B

Explanation

Gardner maintains his theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) should “empower learners”, not restrict them to one modality of learning. According to Gardner, intelligence is "a bio-psychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture”. He further says, teachers should use MI as a framework for devising alternative ways to teach the subject matter.
