The correct answer is letter "A": systematic thinking about decision making.

Explanation:

In most cases people have more than one option available to select, thus, the choice with the greatest return and the lowest costs is likely to be chosen.

American Harvard Professor Steven Kelman (born in 1948) states that at its broadest and vaguest level, cost-benefit analysis may be regarded simply as systematic thinking about decision-making. Kelman also believes that using the cost-benefit analysis in environmental, safety, or health matters is inappropriate.
