1. Cognitive, social, and behavioral

2. Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor

3. Cognitive, verbal, and psychological

4. Affective, physical, and intellectual

The correct answer is: Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor

Bloom's classification of educational objectives is centered on three distinct domains that encompass the spectrum of learning. The correct answer identifies these domains as cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive domain involves the mental processes of learning, including knowledge acquisition, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This domain focuses on the intellectual skills and the ability to think critically. The affective domain pertains to emotional growth, attitudes, values, and the development of feelings. It encompasses how individuals react emotionally to ideas, how they value those ideas, and how they develop interests and attitude changes. The psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills and the development of motor skills. It encompasses skills that require coordination and physical manipulation, such as executing a dance routine, playing a sport, or performing a scientific experiment. These three interconnected domains together provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and structuring educational objectives, ensuring that education caters to the whole person—intellectually, emotionally, and physically.
