- A. It measures the application of the skills taught. Correct
- B. It validates the quality of the course material.
- C. It requires the learners to use what they learned.
- D. It helps to reinforce the learning concepts.
Explanation
Observing learners on the job after training is a behaviour-level evaluation: it measures whether learners actually apply the skills taught in their work. Passive observation does not validate the course material itself (B), does not require learners to use anything (C) because the observer does not intervene, and is not mainly a reinforcement activity (D).
