The correct answer is tell a story about what has happened, is happening and will happen.

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) refers to a projective test that is used in psychological testing in order to understand a person's underlying thoughts, perceptions and attitudes about the world around them. In the TAT, a person is shown an ambiguous picture or scene (for instance a woman standing on the sea shore facing the sea) and then asked to tell a story about what has happened, is happening and will happen.
