D Correct answer
Explanation

Heuristic means relating to a problem-solving method that uses practical approaches or trial and error to discover solutions, often in teaching or learning contexts. Option D (persuading pupil to find out by himself) captures the educational aspect of heuristic methods - encouraging self-discovery learning. The other options don't capture this meaning: pseudo scientific (A) is unrelated, teutonic (B) refers to Germanic peoples, and to teach by directions (C) is the opposite of heuristic learning.
