Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minimax strategy of player II is to choose the column with the minimum maximum value. By finding the maximum value for each row and then selecting the column with the minimum among them, we can determine the minimax strategy for player II:

- Maximum values for each row: 4, 6, 6, 5
- Minimum among those maximum values: 4 (corresponding to the third column)

Therefore, player II should always play the third column to minimize their potential losses.
