A and D are obviously inappropriate.

Which do think is a better answer -- b or c?

well i put c and i got it wrong

I think the best question is the open-ended question, b. It gives the interviewee a chance to express him/herself. The interviewer learns a lot from the answer to this question.

I think c. is too specific. It assumes that part of the job is providing science activities for 4-year-olds. Those activities should be part of the curriculum of a preschool.
