The four components recommended by CAST for creating an accessible curriculum for diverse learners are Goals, materials/resources, methods, and assessment. This aligns with the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which emphasize providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement to meet the needs and preferences of all learners. Option A is close, but preferences are covered under the "methods" component as it includes providing multiple ways for learners to engage with the materials. Option B is missing the important component of methods, and option D includes interests, which is not necessarily a UDL principle or component, although it may be a consideration when designing instruction.
