Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Indexing is a communication skill used to avoid the "allness" barrier, which is the tendency to make sweeping generalizations about a person or group based on limited information. It involves acknowledging that individuals may have unique experiences, perspectives, and characteristics that influence their behavior and beliefs, rather than assuming that they are all the same. The other options (A, C, D) are not related to indexing specifically.
