A. acquisition of knowledge and skills from the environment B. sharing of ideas and skills among learners C. receiving information which is being transmitted D. active construction of knowledge by learners Correct Answer D, A & B

Education about the environment, through the environment, and for environmental protection will make an individual realize his/her responsibility toward the total environment. Key Points
Learning about EVS in students is required 
  • to make children aware of the nature of the relationship between humanity and the environment on which they depend.
  • to impart knowledge and skills to understand and solve environment and development-related skills.
  • for the acquisition of knowledge and skills from the environment to develop an awareness of and sensitivity to the total environment and its allied problems.
  • sharing of ideas and skills among learners.
  • to acquire the attitudes and motivations leading to sound discussions and civic actions for the improvement and protection of the environment and its quality.
  • active construction of knowledge by learners by involving in many activities related to the environment.
  • help students develop a sense of responsibility and urgency regarding environmental problems to ensure the appropriate action to solve these problems.

​Hence D, A & B are the correct options.

Additional Information

On the other hand the statement "receiving information which is being transmitted" doesn't describe EVS learning because here the student remains passive just as a recipient of knowledge which doesn't lead to meaningful learning.
