Scaffolding, according to Vygotsky, is when an adult or more competent peer assists a child with difficult parts of a task, gradually reducing the amount of help as the child becomes more competent. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect, as staying out of the child's way would not provide any support or assistance. Option C is incorrect, as having other children nearby does not necessarily provide targeted assistance for the child's learning. Option D is incorrect, as demonstrating everything to the child does not allow the child to actively engage in the learning process and make mistakes, which are important steps in learning.
