The correct answer is option c. flexibility
.
Explanation:
In psychology, when we try to solve a problem in a new and innovative way, we develop a skill that is carried out by these four options provided in the answers: fluency, originality, flexibility and elaboration.
Let's see what each of them is about:
Fluency: Two aspects come into play here, the ability to generate new ideas, along with a set of extra ideas that can serve as a different option to the ideas already presented.
Originality: This concept is better known. As we know, it is the ability to search for new and innovative options that have not been seen before.
Flexibility: This is exclusively the ability to generate many new ideas and concepts. (Which makes our answer correct.)
Elaboration: It is how we will carry out all the previous concepts, in an elaborate and structured way.
