Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carroll's three-stratum theory includes the general factor of intelligence (g), followed by a level of broad abilities (such as verbal, perceptual, and numerical abilities), and finally a level of narrow abilities (such as spelling or memory). Therefore, option A, which includes g, broad abilities, and narrow abilities, is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because it includes verbal and performance abilities instead of broad abilities. Option C is incorrect because it replaces broad abilities with fluid and crystallized intelligence, which are not part of the original three-stratum theory. Option D is incorrect because it includes only two levels (narrow abilities and fluid/crystallized intelligence) instead of three.
