According to your description, Christopher enjoys rhyming games, crosswords, and excels at spell competitions. Based on this information, we can try to identify the type of intelligence he demonstrates using Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences.
In this theory, Gardner proposed that there are multiple types of intelligence, including interpersonal, kinesthetic, linguistic, spatial, and more. Each person may exhibit strengths in different types of intelligence.
Considering Christopher's interests and abilities, it seems that he demonstrates linguistic intelligence (option C). Linguistic intelligence is related to proficiency in various aspects of language, including reading, writing, and verbal communication. Individuals with linguistic intelligence tend to enjoy activities involving words, such as word games, puzzles, and spelling competitions.
To make a more accurate determination, it would be helpful to gather further information about Christopher's abilities and interests in other areas to identify if he also demonstrates strengths in other types of intelligence. However, based on the given information, linguistic intelligence (option C) appears to be the most fitting choice.
