The answer is: c. Learned knowledge and skills are referred to as fluid intelligence, while rapid learning is called crystallized intelligence

This statement is false because fluid intelligence is refer to as people's core ability to think logically and solve different variety of problems in their life that is separated from learned knowledge.

Fluid intelligence is highly influenced by genetic factors (such as intelligent Quotient) rather than learned knowledge.
