Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Christine's decision-making strategy is elimination by aspects, as she has set certain constraints (minimum screen size and maximum cost) and will eliminate options that do not meet them. This is different from a purely additive strategy (where options are ranked based on their positive attributes) or a weighted additive strategy (where options are ranked based on weighted criteria). A field independent strategy would involve relying on personal preferences and ignoring external factors, which is not evident in this scenario.
