Correct option is A
Game theory deals with decision-making situations where
outcomes depend on the actions of competing decision-makers. In such models, all possible strategies, players, and payoffs are
clearly defined and known in advance. Because the decision environment is well specified and limited, it is classified as a
closed decision model. Hence, game theory is an example of a
closed decision model.
Information booster: Game theory is widely used in
economics, management, and agricultural marketing decisions. It helps in analyzing
competitive behavior and strategic interactions among individuals or firms. Closed decision models assume
certainty and complete information regarding alternatives and outcomes. Such models are useful for solving
pricing, bargaining, and resource allocation problems.
Why other options are incorrect: (b) Multiple choice models involve selecting from alternatives without strategic interaction among players. (c) Game theory is not both closed and multiple choice simultaneously in decision theory classification. (d) This option is incorrect because game theory clearly fits under closed decision models.
