Explanation
Realia refers to real-life, authentic objects brought into the classroom for language teaching. Using everyday physical objects (toys, fruits, household items) to teach vocabulary, description, or communication is a well-established ELT technique. The technical term in language pedagogy literature for such real objects is 'realia'. The other options are descriptive but not the technical term.
