Individuals with ____________ are able to make connections based on their prior knowledge and are drawn to categorization, patterning, and relationships between ideas.

Correct option is A

Individuals with logico-mathematical intelligence excel in thinking logically and solving mathematical problems. They are adept at recognizing patterns, understanding logical operations, and are drawn to solving complex problems. This type of intelligence, as defined by Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, involves the ability to understand the underlying principles of some kind of causal system, the way a scientist or a logician does; or to manipulate numbers, quantities, and operations, the way a mathematician does.
