Mentoring is defined as offers help, guidance and advice in support the development of another.

• A. Offers help, guidance and advice in support the development of another
• B. Developing a person's skills
• C. 1-2-1
• D. Very specific purpose

Answer: (A)

Mentoring is a developmental relationship where someone with more experience offers help, guidance and advice to support the other person’s growth. That exact wording captures the essence: providing support, direction and counsel to foster development in another person. The option that states this is the best because it directly defines mentoring by its core elements—help, guidance and advice aimed at development. The other choices are narrower or misaligned: focusing only on developing skills misses the broader supportive guidance aspect; 1-2-1 describes the delivery format rather than the definition; and a very specific purpose limits mentoring to a single aim, whereas mentoring typically supports broader growth over time.
