D) none of these

Answer 1

According to research, Professor Daube's students should be more cognitively engaged with their learning.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive engagements in studying describe the student’s ability to put more effort into their studies than to just show up to class for attendance. This is aided by persistence and if required, studying for long periods to understand a topic.

Cognitive learning requires students mental and psychological presence in the classroom. In problem-solving learning, students need to analyse all the aspects of the problem paying attention to even slightest details. These are the traits required from Professor Daube's students to be able to analyse the personality of the artists.
