B
Raymond Cattell
C
Alfred Binet
D
Robert Sternberg
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -crystallized intelligence was first proposed by psychologist Raymond Cattell; he further developed it along with his student John Horn. The theory suggests that intelligence is composed of different abilities that interact and work together to produce overall individual intelligence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Practical intelligence, as proposed by Sternberg, is sometimes compared to “street smarts.” Being practical means you find solutions that work in your everyday life by applying knowledge based on your experiences.

Detailed explanation-3: -He argued that fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence are two categories of general intelligence. In his book Intelligence, Its Structure, Growth, and Action, Cattell identified one component of general intelligence as embodying a fluid quality and being directable to any problem (Cattell, 1987).

Detailed explanation-4: -These three examples exemplify Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory on intelligence. The triarchic theory describes three distinct types of intelligence that a person can possess. Sternberg calls these three types practical intelligence, creative intelligence, and analytical intelligence.
