Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: List the defining features of formal education, being classroom-bound, fixed curriculum, one-way teaching.
Step 2: Extension education is the opposite on each count, so options (1), (2) and (3) actually describe formal education and are eliminated.
Step 3: Extension education happens in the field, outside the classroom.
\[ \boxed{\text{Teaching occurs outside the classroom, Option (4)}} \]
