• (A) →(I), (B) →(III), (C) →(II), (D) →(IV)
• (A) →(II), (B) →(III), (C) →(IV), (D) →(I)
• (A) →(III), (B) →(IV), (C) →(I), (D) →(II)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Below are key theories of intelligence and their proponents:

• ‘g’ Factor Theory (A): Spearman proposed the general intelligence (g) factor, emphasizing a core cognitive ability underlying diverse tasks (II).
• Hierarchical Theory (B): Vernon’s hierarchical model linked general intelligence with specialized abilities (III).
• Multifactor Theory (C): Thurstone identified primary mental abilities, emphasizing independent cognitive domains (IV).
• Cubical Model (D): Guilford’s Structure of Intellect model used a 3D framework to categorize intellectual abilities (I).
