Answer:

B. applying a set of skills to understand and evaluate information

Step-by-step explanation:

Critical thinking is focused mainly on independent thinking, in which a person is able to make connections between ideas, generate arguments, bring up solutions to problems, classify ideas by how important they are, all of these as part of the skills needed.

It shouldn't be confused with being critical over people or having arguments over everything.
