Answer:

The term that best describes Jordan's ability is:

B. theory of mind

Explanation:

Theory of mind is a term in psychology that refers to our ability of attributing mental states such as desires, emotions, beliefs, intent, and knowledge to others as well as ourselves. Having such an ability is crucial for interpersonal interactions since it supports our understanding of others' behaviors and perspectives. Theory of mind allows us to grasp, for instance, that different people have different tastes. It also allows us to predict the behavior or reactions of others.
