Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a simultaneous-move game, each player makes their decision without knowing the other player's decision. In the rock-paper-scissor game, both players make their move at the same time without knowing the opponent's move, making it a simultaneous-move game. The other options are not simultaneous-move games. In option A, a Senate race election is sequential, as the outcome of the first round influences the choices in the second round. In option B, chess is a turn-based game where players move one piece at a time. In option D, poker is also sequential, where players make their moves in a specified order.
