Which of the following hinders problem-solving ?
Answer: B
What hinders problem-solving is fixating on a single trait of a composite problem.
A composite problem has several features that must be considered together. Locking on to one of them is a form of mental set or fixation: the solver keeps approaching the problem the same way and misses the other aspects that hold the solution.
The other options help. Breaking a large problem into smaller parts makes it manageable. Algorithms and heuristics are the standard problem-solving tools. Using a solution that worked for a similar problem earlier is transfer by analogy, which is effective as long as the solver checks that it still fits.
