The correct answer is

The ability to learn school subjects

Psychologists have defined intelligence in several ways, each describing a general mental capacity.

Ability to adjust to one’s surroundings: Stern, Wechsler (‘deal effectively with his environment’) and Piaget (adaptation) define intelligence as adjustment/adaptation to the environment.

Ability to learn from experiences: Dearborn and Buckingham defined intelligence as the capacity to learn or to profit by experience.

Ability to understand and control own thinking process: Sternberg and other cognitive psychologists include metacognition — awareness and regulation of one’s own thinking — as a central component of intelligence.

Ability to learn school subjects: this is scholastic achievement or academic aptitude, which depends on curriculum, teaching and practice. It is not used by psychologists to define general intelligence.

Hence, the answer is The ability to learn school subjects.
