Answer 1

Answer:

D. preparation

• The four stages of creativity are the following

  1.Preparation: This is the initial phase where you gather information, define the problem, and immerse yourself in the subject matter.

   

  2.Incubation: During this stage, you step away from the problem and allow your subconscious mind to work on it. This often involves engaging in unrelated activities or taking a break.

   

  3.Illumination: This is the "aha" moment, where a sudden insight or solution emerges. It's the breakthrough that often occurs unexpectedly.  

  4.Verification: In this final stage, you evaluate the idea, refine it, and implement it. This involves testing, refining, and potentially iterating on the initial idea.
