Answer: D

NOT formative: A term-paper at the end of the session.

Formative assessment happens during the learning process, so the teacher can give feedback and adjust teaching. A single task at the end of the session judges what has been learnt overall, which is summative assessment.

The other options describe assessment spread through the session: a combination of tests and tasks scattered over time, strategies from short tests to peer review throughout the session, and a series of oral and written tasks and role-plays throughout. All of these feed back into learning while it is happening, so they are formative.
