Answer:
Option 2 is the right ans.
Explanation:
Max has used Decision-making (DM) criteria. Because DM criteria follows the certain steps that are necessary for any business/Manager to follow these steps while making a good decision.
These are as follows
1. Identify the problem
2. Find out alternatives
3. Choose the alternatives
4. Implement the decision
5. And evaluate the decision.
Since Max is doing all these steps in his decision to make a purchase, therefore, Option 2 best fits among other options. Option is not technically right. Option 3 is not very relevant and option 4 has no link with the question.
