The "string problem" involves arranging the strings in a way that allows the screwdriver to be caught while holding the second string. This is a problem of arrangement. The solution often requires insight - a sudden realization of how to rearrange the strings. This insight is often hindered by functional fixedness - the tendency to see objects and their functions in a fixed way. Therefore, the best answer is C, as it correctly identifies arrangement, insight, and functional fixedness as the key elements of the problem.
