B.

Reflective Observation

C.

Abstract Conceptualization

D.

Active Experimentation

Full Answer

B.Reflective Observation✓ Correct
Kolb's cycle consists of: 1. Concrete Experience (doing), 2. Reflective Observation (reviewing/reflecting), 3. Abstract Conceptualization (learning/concluding), 4. Active Experimentation (planning/trying out). Journaling about a past event is Reflective Observation.

Common mistakes

Confusing Reflective Observation with Abstract Conceptualization. Reflection is just looking back; conceptualization is creating a new rule or model for the future.
