Divergent thinking involves generating multiple creative solutions to a problem, focusing on flexibility and novel approaches. The first option is a conventional solution (buying a new hammer), the second is giving up (no solution), while the third involves improvising with a different tool, which shows creativity and thinking of alternative methods—key traits of divergent thinking.
