B) Incubation.

Amber was likely in the Incubation phase of creative decision-making during her hike in the mountains. This phase involves setting aside the problem or task and allowing the mind to subconsciously process information gathered during the Preparation phase. It's a period where the conscious mind is not actively focused on the problem, allowing for unexpected insights and new connections to form. Amber's break during the hike allowed her mind to relax and indirectly contemplate the problem, leading to the emergence of a promising new idea once she returned to the office.
