C Correct answer
Explanation

The 'Comprehensive' in CCE is supported by theories that emphasize holistic, multi-dimensional assessment of human abilities. Multiple intelligence theory (A) supports assessing diverse intelligences, information processing theory (B) supports cognitive process assessment, and Thurstone's theory (D) supports measuring multiple primary mental abilities. Guilford's structure of intellect model (C) is the exception - while comprehensive, it's more of a structural classification system rather than a philosophical foundation for comprehensive evaluation in Indian educational context.
