Answer

B

Explanation

The National Curriculum Committee had recommended in the 1975 policy document .The Curriculum for the Ten-Year School: A Framework, that a single subject .Environmental Studies. be taught at the primary stage. It had proposed that in the first two years (Class 1st to 2nd) Environmental Studies will look at both the natural and the social environment, while in Classes 3rd to 5th there would be separate portions for social studies and general science termed as EVS Part I and Part II.
The NCF 2000 had recommended that environmental studies be taught as an integrated course for the entire primary stage, instead of in two distinct parts devoted to science and social studies in Class III-V.
