Affordance refers to the potential for action in an environment - in this case, the bookshelf, rocks, and ladder all provide opportunities for climbing. A is also a possible answer, but affordance is a more specific term for this concept. B and D are incorrect choices as they do not accurately describe the relationship between Geraldo and his climbing opportunities.
