D
Crystallized intelligence is the ability to read and write, while fluid intelligence is the ability to be analytical.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Raymond Cattell, what is the major difference between crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence? Crystallized intelligence is the ability to absorb and retain information, while fluid intelligence refers to problem-solving abilities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid intelligence refers to abilities needed for abstract reasoning and speeded performance whereas crystallized intelligence refers to knowledge acquired through one’s culture including verbal ability and social knowledge (Schaie 1996).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -On average, fluid abilities decline throughout adulthood, whereas crystallized abilities show gains into old age. These diverging age trends, along with marked individual differences in rates of change, have led to the proposition that individuals might compensate for fluid declines with crystallized gains.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fluid intelligence is the ability to use logic and solve problems in new or novel situations without reference to pre-existing knowledge. Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use knowledge that was previously acquired through education and experience.
