Correct option is D

Creative thinking differs from routine problem solving in three key dimensions identified by J.P. Guilford: (1) Fluency - the ability to generate many ideas rapidly, (2) Flexibility - the ability to shift between different approaches and categories of solutions, and (3) Originality - the uniqueness and novelty of ideas produced. These three components together constitute divergent thinking, which is central to creativity. Day dreaming is not a recognized component of creative thinking assessment.

Information Booster:
1. Guilford's Model: Proposed the structure of intellect model identifying divergent production as key to creativity
2. Fluency Types: Includes ideational fluency (many ideas), associational fluency (relationships), and expressional fluency (sentences/phrases)
3. Flexibility: Involves both spontaneous flexibility (variety without instruction) and adaptive flexibility (changing strategies when needed)
4. Originality: Measured by statistical infrequency of responses and clever/unusual approaches to problems
5. Convergent vs Divergent: Routine problem solving typically uses convergent thinking (one correct answer), while creativity requires divergent thinking (multiple possibilities)
