The Mechanical Composite Strategy for Collecting and Combining Predictive Information

The mechanical composite strategy for collecting and combining predictive information is:

A) one in which all information (both mechanical and judgmental data) is first mechanically combined into a prediction about the applicant's likely success; then this prediction is judged in the context of other information about the applicant.
B) one in which data are collected mechanically but combined judgmentally.
C) one in which data are both collected mechanically and combined mechanically.
D) one that collects both judgmental and mechanical data and then combines them mechanically.
