4)The field of human resource development (HRD) training is undergoing a sea change. There is an increasing shift in emphasis from training to learning. As a result, training professionals are now moving from the role of trainers to that of facilitators of the learning process.
Those who are practicing the modified HRD training practice have assumed which of the following?
a. If they do not switch to the new practice, they will soon be thrown out of business.
b. The concept of training people is very different from that of helping them learn.
c. Human resources is a dynamic concept and it is very important to update oneself on that front.
d. Helping people learn themselves rather than coaching them will facilitate a more productive environment in an organization.

Answer Please!

Sorry for the late reply

The answer is D only in my opinion too and the key in the MOCK also
as given in the explanation that those who are practicing the modified HRD training practice is assuming that the a productive enviornment will be generated in the organization

also it is already specified that the concept of training people is very different from that of helping them learn.So this is not the assumption i guess ..

Though i am pretty weak in VA so can not convince u ......
