C.teaching many languages.
D.promoting of languages through content learning.
Explanation
Viewing multilingualism as a resource (as advocated by NCF 2005 and Position Paper on Teaching of Indian Languages) means leveraging learners' existing languages as pedagogical assets in the classroom. Teachers use learners' home languages to scaffold learning, make connections, and build conceptual understanding. This is different from simply teaching many languages or learning many languages — it is about strategically using learners' linguistic repertoire.
