According to the table, the importance score sum for option C is (0.2 x 2) + (0.5 x 3) + (0.1 x 1) + (0.2 x 2) = 0.4 + 1.5 + 0.1 + 0.4 = 2.4. Thus, option C has an importance score of 2.4, which is higher than the importance scores for options A and B. However, option D has a higher importance score of 3.45, making it the best choice.
