Option 3 : A and B are right.

Academic Language is the language that is used by teachers and students for the purpose of acquiring new knowledge and skills and imparting new information, describing abstract ideas, and developing students’ conceptual understandings.

  • Academic language is characterized by linguistic features which are specific to academic disciplines (Mathematics, Arts, Science, Social Science, and Language) including grammar, vocabulary, and discourse features across the four domains of language, namely, reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
  • The use of academic language also differs from grade to grade depending on the learner's characteristics like age, etc. The language that a child is able to master at the age of five varies greatly in sophistication and complexity as compared to the writing of a research thesis by an adult learner.
  • Academic language is therefore developmental in nature, proceeding from simple to complex.  Academic language is the oral and written language (and visual, auditory, etc)
    that students need in order to understand, communicate and perform.

From the above-mentioned paragraph, we can conclude that both statement A and B are right.
