Question

Which of the following reflects a true relationship between decision making and problem solving:
A) You don't make a decision when solving a problem
B) You need to solve a problem before making a decision
C) You don't have to have a problem to make a decision
D) You need to make a decision before solving a problem

Answer 1

C. You don't have to have a problem to make a decision. 

You can make a decision regardless of whether you have a problem. Imagine that you are considering between multiple options for dinner one evening. You do not necessarily have a problem but you have options in order to make a decision. You would go through the decision-making process without having to go through a problem-solving analysis.
