Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In goal programming with preemptive priorities, goals with different priority levels are assigned different levels of importance, and there can be no trade-offs between goals of different priority levels. Within each priority level, however, trade-offs may be permitted, even if the goals have the same weights. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A and C are not correct because trade-offs may be permitted within a priority level. Option D is also incorrect since the purpose of goal programming is to find an optimal solution that balances different goals.
