please select the best answer from the choices provided
○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizes the role of social interactions in learning. He believed that cognitive development is influenced by social and cultural factors. Through interactions with more knowledgeable others (such as parents, teachers, or peers), individuals learn new skills and concepts. This is in contrast to other theories. For example, Piaget (associated with schemas - option A) focused more on individual cognitive development through interaction with the environment (option B is more Piagetian in a general sense of interaction with the environment rather than social interaction). Option D about symbolism through experience is not the core of Vygotsky's view on the primary source of learning.

Answer:

C. one's social interactions with others
