Read the fragment:

“Research focused on second language acquisition (SLA) is no longer directly focused on language teaching as it was in the early stages of the development of this academic area. As such, some questions that guide SLA research include how languages in general are learned and the relation with first language acquisition. The answers to these questions give us a deeper understanding of the nature of language and its complexities, which, in turn, may further aid in language teaching methodologies. Some milestones in the course of SLA research include: contrastive analysis, language transfer, error analysis, and universal grammar."

About the contrastive analysis, it is correct the option:

a) “Contrastive analysis is based on the idea that learners draw heavily from their native language to learn the additional language, leading to the transfer of certain forms and meanings that may reflect differences in learner performance.”
b) “Contrastive analysis is based on the idea that learners draw easily from their native language to learn the additional language, not worried to the transfer of certain forms and meanings that may reflect differences in learner performance.”
c) “Contrastive analysis is central to the teaching and learning of languages. It is also one of the more difficult aspects of language to teach well. Many people, including language teachers, hear the word "grammar" and think of a fixed set of word forms and rules of usage.
d) “Contrastive analysis is central to the teaching and learning of languages. It is also one of the more difficult aspects of language to teach well. Many people, including language teachers, hear the words "language teaching" and think of a fixed set of word forms and rules of usage.
