I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about performance being one of the components. Maybe it’s option B?

I think Mager's components are about how to structure learning objectives, but I can't remember the exact terms.

Okay, this question is testing my knowledge of instructional design principles. I remember learning about Mager's framework, but I'm drawing a blank on the exact three components. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Hmm, let me think about this. I know Mager's model has something to do with the components of a learning objective, but I'm a bit fuzzy on the specifics. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.
