Allie Norris · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences proposes that intelligence includes various unrelated abilities, including linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal abilities. This theory suggests that there are multiple types of intelligence, rather than a singular g factor as proposed by Spearman.
