Unstructured problems are ________
A) perfectly rational
B) clear and straightforward
C) situations in which all options are known
D) situations in which all options are not known
Answer: D
Explanation: The essence of an unstructured problem is that information is missing. All alternatives are not known. The problem solver must analyze the situation based on assumptions that may or may not be true. This means that "situations in which all options are not known" is the correct answer. The situation is not perfectly rational or straightforward. Information in an unstructured problem is incomplete, so all options are not known.
