A)dynamic equilibrium
B)interdependency
C)equifinality
D)synergy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equifinality refers to the idea that different initial conditions or inputs can lead to the same or similar outputs or end states. It is a hallmark of complex systems, and can be observed in many different domains including biology, psychology, economics, and more. Synergy refers to the idea that the combined output of two or more parts is greater than the sum of their individual outputs, and is not directly related to the question at hand. Dynamic equilibrium and interdependency are also related to complex systems and may be relevant in other contexts, but do not specifically address the idea of different inputs leading to similar outputs.
