Which skill involves using information and processes to solve problems and make choices?

• A. Communication
• B. Integrity
• C. Decision Making
• D. Teamwork

Answer: (C)

Decision making is the skill that uses information and processes to solve problems and make choices. It involves gathering relevant facts, evaluating options, weighing potential outcomes, and choosing the option that best meets goals. In practice, you might define the problem, gather data, compare alternatives against criteria (like cost, safety, and time), predict consequences, and decide on a course of action. This is exactly what the question targets: applying information and a structured process to arrive at a decision. Other skills mentioned—communication is about sharing information, teamwork is about collaborating with others, and integrity concerns ethical behavior; they support good decisions but the act of solving problems and selecting a course of action is decision making.
