Answer: Option D

Explanation: In simple words, extended decision making refers to the process in which an individual makes excessive internal and external research and thoroughly study about different alternatives before making a decision.

In the given case, Eric wanted to purchase a lawn mower and he went to different stores and online sites to make a decision. He also asked his colleagues before making any purchase.

Hence the correct option is B.
