b. Analyzing and evaluating information to make decisions.
Explanation:
Critical thinking is every academician's much needed quality to assess how his or her paper is. also, it a much required characteristic of how well a paper has been written and presented.
But being critical doesn't mean anything negative. Rather, it envelops the person to think rationally, openly and then evaluate the information that'e been given. If one can surpass his/ her own abilities and qualities, and is open to correction, then he/ she can critically analyse the paper that'e been put in front of him/her. Thus, critical thinking can be best defined as the ability to analyse and evaluate the given information to come to a conclusion/ final decision.
