C) generalized network flow model.
D) transshipment model with linear side constraints.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A network flow problem that allows gains or losses along the arcs is called a generalized network flow model. This model includes both the traditional network flow model (which only allows non-negative flows along the arcs) and the transshipment model (which allows gains or losses). Therefore, option C is the best choice. Options A and D are incorrect because they only refer to specific types of flow models, and option B is incorrect because it does not address the concept of allowing gains or losses along the arcs.
