C.The teacher is trying to teach letters of alphabet.
D.The teacher is creating a situation for the students to learn the spelling of the words.
Explanation
Labelling objects in the classroom with their names in multiple languages creates a print-rich environment where learners are constantly exposed to written language in meaningful contexts. This strategy supports incidental vocabulary acquisition, word recognition, and biliteracy development. It is a key practice in language-rich classrooms and goes beyond just teaching writing, alphabets, or spelling — it immerses learners in print within their everyday environment.
