Decision trees

Explanation:

Decision trees mainly include categorization and estimation. It is often used as a measure of selection. This also encourages the usage and choice of particular data within the overall structure.

In the given situation, we should choose Policy A has cost $150 as it has 100% repayment while on the other hand Policy B has cost $100 and the first $500 of loss would be paid by the owner

So for choosing the policy, we use the decision tree data mining technique as we have to take the decision with respect to minimizing the cost
