What term describes the quality of being able to perform a mental or physical task?

• A. Ability
• B. Application Form
• C. Behavioral Interviewing
• D. Exit Interview

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is ability—the quality of being able to perform a mental or physical task. Ability refers to the capacity or capability to do something, whether it involves thinking, solving problems, or moving a body.

Why this is the best fit: it directly describes the capacity to perform tasks, which is exactly what the question asks for. The other options describe things you do or use, not your capacity: an application form is just a document to gather information; behavioral interviewing is a method used to assess how someone has acted in past situations; an exit interview is a discussion conducted when someone leaves a position.
