B

C
Raymond Cattell
D
Robert Sternberg
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Cattell’s psychometrically-based theory, general intelligence (g) is subdivided into gf and gc. Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve novel reasoning problems and is correlated with a number of important skills such as comprehension, problem-solving, and learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -General intelligence has two main categories: fluid and crystallized. Fluid intelligence is your ability to process new information, learn, and solve problems. Crystallized intelligence is your stored knowledge, accumulated over the years. The two types work together and are equally important.

Detailed explanation-3: -Raymond B. Cattell is credited with the development of the theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence. The genesis of this theory is, however, vague. Cattell, in different papers, stated that it was developed in 1940, 1941 or 1942.

Detailed explanation-4: -In contrast, Cattell also named a second, different type of intelligence that he called crystallized intelligence. Crystallized intelligence is defined as the ability to use learned knowledge and experience.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory classifies cognitive skills within seven clusters of abilities that demonstrate moderate to highly significant correlations to academic achievement skills.
