The answer is the first option (1). Gathering information requires a careful analysis of all the following except the ability to shift perspective.  

EXPLANATION:  

Gathering information is the process of acquiring, collecting, getting knowledge for any kind of resources, including printed books, society, surroundings, public places, television, social media, and many more. Gathering information is not only related to study or academic endeavors. Gathering information could be the time when an individual or someone is expressing the feelings or learning about love.  

Gathering information is not only about acquiring new information. When someone is looking through the old information he got before from a different perspective or new approach, it is also a process of gathering information. Gathering information also doesn’t require someone to acquire information to understand something. Gathering information includes someone who is learning to get understanding about something or just to gather data. Given that the focus is on the process of acquiring information, it is included in gathering information.  

During the process of gathering information someone is acquired to know the amount of information they need (option 2), the amount of time they have to locate the information (option 3), and the relevancy of the information they acquire (option 4). Thus, the answer to the question, the one which is not the requirement of gathering information is the ability to shift perspective.

even though you have attached neither the chart nor the generalizations, i have located them online. the right answer is d, since they are asking you about a generalization. you can only infer from the chart that between 2008 and 2009 the number of employed workers decreased significantly (from over 115 millions to 107 millions approximately), which signals some type of economic crisis.
