c) It is used for good communication
d) It is a creative thinking and brainstorming technique
Correct Answer: d) It is a creative thinking and brainstorming technique

Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2025

Explanation:

Starbursting is a structured creative-thinking and brainstorming technique that focuses on generating comprehensive questions about a topic rather than immediate answers. It typically uses a six-point star labeled with Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How (5W1H) to explore all dimensions of an idea, product, or problem. This makes it a divergent thinking tool used in ideation, planning, and problem framing. It is not a method of measurement (Option 2), not primarily a communication tool (Option 3), and not related to individual attraction (Option 1). Hence, Option 4 is correct.
