Hudson Rosales · Answer 1

B) search for solutions that are reasonable

Explanation:

When Emily solves her work problems by satisficing a large number of decisions, it means that she makes the decisions that are barely adequate to solve the issues. She doesn't take the time to make the best possible ones. Since she has a very tight work schedule, she doesn't have the time to search all the necessary information nor to search all the possible options. She doesn't have the time to analyze which alternative is best, she will take whatever option she finds first.
