Elias Melendez · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Heuristics are mental shortcuts that help with decision-making and problem-solving, often bypassing the need for more information. The statement in B suggests that providing more information and options is the key to better decisions, which contradicts the essence of relying on heuristics, which is about simplifying decision-making processes, not complicating them with more information.
