Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decision tree is a tree-like model of decisions and their possible consequences, including chance event outcomes, resource costs, and utility. It is a hierarchical arrangement of criteria that predicts a classification or value. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options are not hierarchical arrangements of criteria. The value chain is a set of activities that a firm operating in a specific industry performs to deliver a valuable product or service for the market. Cluster analysis is a statistical technique used to group sets of objects based on their similarity. Neural networks are a set of algorithms modeled loosely after the human brain that are designed to recognize patterns.
