B Correct answer
Explanation

Giving a broad outline before teaching helps students understand the structure, scope, and objectives of the upcoming topic. This provides cognitive scaffolding - students can organize new information within a known framework, improving comprehension and retention. Jumping straight into formal teaching without context can overwhelm students.
