Answer 1

According to the information given in this example, Paul has reached the illumination stage of the creative process. The correct answer is C: illumination.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stage reached by Paul in the example above is Illumination because is the stage where Paul connected all the ideas and concepts and realized the best way to organize the information.
