Correct answer
Explanation
Insight, in learning theory, means immediate and clear learning or understanding that takes place without overt trial-and-error testing. Insight occurs when an organism recognises relationships (or make novel associations between objects or actions) that can help it solve new problems. Here the chimpanzee, after jumping for some time, finds the relation between the boxes and the way to reach the bananas.
