Accepted Answer

Creative and critical thinking are not opposites, nor are they the same thing. They are interconnected cognitive processes that involve generating multiple options (creative thinking) and evaluating those options (critical thinking). Therefore, using both creative and critical thinking is a tool to generate many options.

Innovation is the process of taking a creative idea and transforming it into a useful product or service. Therefore, creativity is a prerequisite for innovation. Without creative ideas, there can be no innovation.

D is incorrect because it lists four steps in a general problem-solving process, rather than the specific elements of creative thinking.
