Answer 1

The answer is C. Both 1 and 2

Both the curriculum and syllabus are known to guide various aspects of education. While the syllabus is a narrow descriptive document that contains portions of the concepts that are covered in a particular subject, the curriculum is a wide prescriptive document that covers the overall content that is taught in a particular course or in the educational system. The syllabus is set for a single subject while the curriculum is set for the whole course.
