C Correct answer
Explanation

Comprehensive assessment using multiple methods across both scholastic (academic) and co-scholastic (non-academic like sports, arts) areas makes assessment useful and interesting.

Option D (technical language) makes feedback inaccessible to students and parents, reducing usefulness.
