C.It makes the children observe the physical properties of an object informally which deepens their understanding about shapes.✓ Correct
D.It is a useful activity which introduces a child to the shapes.
Explanation
Having children describe physical properties of objects in their own words promotes informal observation and reflection, which deepens conceptual understanding of geometric properties. This activity allows children to develop intuitive understanding before formal terminology is introduced, supporting constructive learning. The other options either trivialize the activity or describe it superficially.
