A Correct answer
Explanation

The RTE Act 2009 standardized the entry age to Grade 1 at 6 years, creating more uniform age composition within classrooms. Before RTE, students could enter at varying ages, creating more heterogeneous age groups. The Act's 25% quota for economically weaker sections affects socio-economic diversity, not age homogeneity. RTE specifically targets age-appropriate enrollment, making classrooms more age-wise homogeneous.
