The first blank is referring to hierarchical models of intelligence which propose that there are different levels of factors, such as general intelligence (g) being at the top level and specific abilities at lower levels. The second blank is referring to correlational models of intelligence which propose that different factors are postulated to be at the same structural level, such as the various subtests of an IQ test being correlated with each other. Therefore, the best choice is C, which correctly matches hierarchical with factor models, and is the only option that provides a clear distinction between the two types of models.
