Answer:

I would say your answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that the answer is c because in smaller classes, teachers can give their attention to every student. In large classes, teachers can have a hard time helping so many kids at a time. In small classes, it is easy for teachers to help the students because there aren't as many. Smaller classes also help the teacher by taking a lot of stress off of them. In smaller classes, it is also easy for students and teachers to build relationships. Overall, the kids in smaller classes learn more than those in larger classes.

Feel free to correct me!
I hope this helps :)
