Answer:D

Explanation:

Fluid intelligence is the capability to think rationally and logically to solve problems in new and unexpected situations which is independent of previous knowledge.

fluid intelligence involves think abstractly and identify the pattern and extrapolate the finding to derive logic from it.

For example when you encounter a new problem that is independent of your acquired knowledge then fluid intelligence comes in to play.
