In option B, the teacher provides a clear, focused task (discovering how to make secondary colors from primary colors) but leaves the process open to the students' exploration, which is a hallmark of guided inquiry. The students have a goal but must figure out the steps to achieve it on their own, with the teacher facilitating rather than directing every action.
