Explanation

Krashen's Input Hypothesis (1985) proposes 'i+1' — comprehensible input that is slightly above the learner's current level (where 'i' is current competence and '+1' is the next stage). This challenges learners while remaining understandable through context, helping them advance. Input below their level would not promote growth, and the other options miss the specific concept of slightly-above-current-level input.
