D.Children are born with curiosity to learn about the world around them.
Explanation
The constructivist view of learning holds that children actively construct knowledge, form their own theories, and possess innate curiosity about the world. The statement that children cannot think of concepts on their own and that teachers must merely provide information reflects a transmission model that contradicts modern educational psychology. Children are active sense-makers, not passive recipients of information.
