    The correct answer is e.

    Rob is preparing Chicken Baskini for Patty when he realizes that the chicken is supposed to be pounded out. So, he goes to the store to buy a cooking mallet. Rob never thought of using his rolling pin to flatten the chicken because of functional fixedness.

    Explanation:

    The inability to give an object a use different than conventional, is known as "functional fixedness." Functional fixedness is the incapacity to realize that an object that we know that has a particular use can also be used to perform other functions, this happens because our brain somehow blocks our ability or creativity to think of new uses or applications for the concrete object.

    Rob never thought to use his rolling pin because of e. functional fixedness.

    Explanation:

    Functional fixedness is a type of cognitive bias. Functional fixedness means a person is unable to see another use for an object other than its traditional use. This inability prevents a person from finding creative solutions and alternatives when dealing with issues. Rob could very well have used his rolling pin and saved himself some time and money by not leaving home to buy a cooking mallet. However, due to functional fixedness, he could not see another use for the rolling pin besides the one that is traditional.
