Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wording in the question suggests that there were "limits of 2000" that applied to the planning and design of the Pinto automobile. Option A is the only one that includes an objective that could reasonably be subject to such limits. Keeping the weight of the car under 2,000 lbs would have been a very specific constraint that would have influenced many design decisions, and keeping the price under $2,000 would have been a key marketing goal. Option B is unlikely, as the number of parts needed to construct a car is not typically subject to arbitrary limits. Option C is also unlikely, as only producing 2,000 cars would be an extremely small production run for a major carmaker.
