The six steps in the rational decision-making process are: 1) define the problem, 2) identify decision criteria, 3) weight the criteria, 4) generate alternatives, 5) evaluate alternatives, and 6) choose the best alternative. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, "weight the criteria." Option A, "choose a minimally acceptable alternative solution," is not a step in the rational decision-making process, but rather a technique for making a quick decision. Option B, "evaluate the effectiveness of the decision," is a step in the process, but not the one being asked for. Option D, "introduce the decision to those who will be affected by it," is also not a step in the rational decision-making process, but a good practice in decision-making.
