Right.

Your answer, option a, is incorrect. Denial, intellectualization, and regression are not examples of specific mental abilities.

To arrive at the correct answer, let's examine the definitions of these terms:

1. Denial: Denial is a defense mechanism in which an individual refuses to acknowledge or accept a painful or distressing reality. It involves pushing away or minimizing the intensity of an emotion, thought, or situation.

2. Intellectualization: Intellectualization is a defense mechanism where a person deals with emotional or distressing situations by focusing on the intellectual aspects, rather than the emotional aspects. It involves avoiding emotions and using logic and reasoning to understand and cope with a situation.

3. Regression: Regression is a defense mechanism in which a person reverts to a more immature or less developed behavior in response to stressful or challenging situations. It involves retreating to an earlier stage of development where one feels more secure and comfortable.

Based on these explanations, it is clear that these terms are related to psychological defense mechanisms, coping mechanisms, and behavior patterns. They do not pertain to specific mental abilities, knowledge, general perception, or mental alertness.

Therefore, the correct answer is none of the given options.
