Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Naming each bottle after a friend is an analogy, where Solene is creating a comparison between each bottle and a friend. Chunking refers to organizing information into smaller pieces to make it easier to remember; means-end analysis involves breaking down a problem into smaller steps to achieve a goal; and subjective utility refers to the value an individual places on a particular outcome, which is not relevant to this scenario.
