Step 1: Understand the question.
We judge four statements $(J, K, L, M)$ about teaching aids and keep only the correct ones.
Step 2: Check statement J.
Aids help retain concepts longer because visual and auditory input strengthens memory. So J is correct.
Step 3: Check statement K.
Aids help students learn better by making abstract ideas concrete. So K is correct.
Step 4: Check statement L.
Aids make the process interesting and engaging. So L is correct.
Step 5: Check statement M.
Aids promote meaningful understanding, not mere rote learning. So M is incorrect.
Step 6: Combine the valid statements.
\[ J + K + L = \text{correct set},\quad M = \text{rejected} \]
Step 7: Pick the option.
The set J, K and L only is option A.
\[ \boxed{\text{A. J, K and L only}} \]
