B) Incorrect. Individuals with high tolerance for ambiguity tend to be better able to interpret cues.
C) Correct. Behavior adaptation often depends on one's ability to deal with ambiguous, incomplete, and unstructured situations. By definition, an individual with a low tolerance for ambiguity will have more difficulty in such a situation.
D) Incorrect. A low tolerance for ambiguity does not mean that an individual is less intelligent or that he is unable to understand abstract ideas, but rather that the individual may have a more difficult time doing so.
