Which of the following is NOT a step in the decision-making process described?

• A. Define goals
• B. Identify the decision
• C. Gather relevant information
• D. Weigh the evidence

Answer: (A)

Decision-making follows a sequence where you first identify the decision at hand, then collect relevant information, and weigh the evidence before choosing a course of action. Defining goals isn’t part of this particular sequence; it’s more about setting aims in planning and may happen before or outside the decision steps described. The steps that fit the described process are identifying the decision, gathering information, and weighing the evidence.
