B Correct answer
Explanation

A pedagogically sound approach treats mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures. Allowing students to make errors and then explaining how to minimize them promotes growth mindset and deeper understanding. This approach encourages experimentation and independent problem-solving rather than fear-driven perfectionism or punitive measures.
