Answer:

e.  creating a bottleneck

Explanation:

Creating a bottleneck is the nearest concept to Gate Control Theory among options of the question

"As a number of factors determine which pain messages are allowed to get through the gate and reach the brain, such as:

    Strength of the pain message

   Competing messages, such as touch or heat

   Brain signals giving high or low priority to the pain message

A key element of the theory is the concept of a gate that allows pain signals to reach the brain when it is open, and blocks the signals when it is closed. When a quick signal from a nerve fiber can close the gate, it can keep the slower messages from getting through, resulting in less pain."
