Question 345General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) Develop as few alternatives as is feasible. The reasoning behind this is that the decision-making process should focus on developing a reasonable number of alternative solutions that can effectively address the defined problem. Developing too many alternatives can make the process overly complex and time-consuming, while developing only one alternative limits the ability to compare and select the best option. The goal is to identify a manageable set of alternatives that can be thoroughly evaluated to determine the most appropriate solution. The other options are incorrect because A) the number of alternatives is an important consideration in the decision-making process, B) developing only one alternative does not provide enough flexibility or options to choose from, and D) developing an unlimited number of alternatives is not practical or efficient.
