B. depictive representation
C. spatial representation
D. tacit-knowledg

Answer 1

Answer:    D. Tacit-knowledge

Explanation:  The question does not indicate whether the participants were able to indicate in which direction the arrow was pointing, but in each case, if they were able to do so, they could succeed with the help of tacit knowledge.

Tacit knowledge is knowledge that cannot be written down or transmitted to someone else in the form of a skill, it means to teach someone else to know tacit knowledge, it is impossible. Tacit knowledge is gained through experience in a business and cannot be explained to someone else. It can be said that this knowledge is experienced, so it is tacitly learned and acquired, so it cannot be explained. For example, cycling is learned by getting on the bike and when you start to ride you will fall several times. The moment you started riding and you didn't fall, you learned to ride a bike, although at that moment you can't explain how.
