Scaffolding is a teaching technique in which the teacher models the expected behavior and guides the learning process. The teacher provides support to help students develop their skills and understanding. The teacher assesses the learner's prior knowledge to build on it and make the content more meaningful. The teacher provides feedback, praise, and provides prompts to help the learner move to a higher level. The teacher also helps the learner develop an internal dialogue, so the process of learning becomes self-regulated. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
