D Correct answer
Explanation

The best approach helps Ria understand the meaning and sound patterns of words while using audio-visual media for whole-class learning, avoiding humiliation. Option A is punitive and damaging to student confidence. Option B involves the whole class in repetition without addressing Ria's specific needs. Option C's mechanical repetition without understanding is ineffective. Option D combines individual support with collective learning using appropriate teaching aids.
