D
A teacher asks a student questions to help him develop an argument for human rights.

Explanation

The Socratic method uses questions and dialogue to help someone examine ideas and develop their own reasoning. A teacher who asks questions that guide a student toward building an argument for human rights is using that method. The other examples involve instruction, recall, or practice rather than guided inquiry.
