Answer:C. Mental set
Explanation:A mental set is a tendency of using the same solution all over again because it has worked in the past. It is a form of a fixed thinking about resolving problems.
Due to this fixated form of thinking Marks isn't able to use simpler formula to solve his mathematics problems , this mental set is making him fixated to what has worked before.
Why Mental Sets Can Make Problem-Solving More Difficult
- This process prevents us from thinking more creatively because we keep falling back into using the same solution and we don't try new things and it prevent our kind from thinking of new ways to solve problems.
It create rigid thinking and prevent creativity.
The solution to the problem with the help of a formula has set a mental state that made Mark to solve the problem with the same formula. Thus, option C is correct.
The mental state has been the condition in which a person has been assured with the solution, and has been confident with the availability of the formula to be accurate for the solution. When the problem has been solved with the simpler means, the mental state did not let it to be reliable and thus, there have been the same procedure.
When Mark solves the simpler problem with difficult formula, it has been because of his mental set. Thus, option C is correct.
