Know the Answer?

Bobby Hammond · Answer 1

A). The decision maker does not know all the alternatives.

Explanation:

'Uncertainty' is described as the situation in which the decision-maker has a lack of certain knowledge or possesses restricted knowledge that results in faulty conclusions, decisions, or observations.

As per the question, option A displays a statement that could be considered true of a condition of uncertainty as the 'decision-maker not being able to possess the adequate knowledge of the alternatives' and therefore, his knowledge is restricted that would end up in unauthentic prediction or epistemic situation that would neglect the efficacy of the previous judgment based on incomplete information. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
