Acme Manufacturing had to stop production on its widget due to an engineering problem in fitting the pieces together. While the company switched over to producing its whatsit, the production manager, Hatice, tasked the engineering group to meet and come up with a solution for the widget's manufacturing problem. She instructed them to call when they had a recommendation on solving the problem, and she would meet with them to hear the recommendation and make the final decision. Two hours later, the group called her office to say they had a recommendation. However, when Hatice arrived at the meeting, the team was heatedly divided between two relatively creative solutions. One solution cost more time and money but was proposed by an engineer that had successfully solved such problems in the past, and Hatice trusted the engineer's judgment to propose a solution that worked. The other solution cost more time but not nearly as much money and was proposed by a relatively new engineer who had already made one costly mistake. Hatice had promised to make a decision, but she liked both solutions. What is the best advice for this situation?

A. Hatice should choose the solution from the new engineer whose idea is less costly.

B. Hatice should choose the solution from the trusted engineer with a good track record.

C. Hatice should take both recommendations because they may both be correct.

D. Hatice should retreat to her office to consider both options and make the final decision. E. Hatice should instruct the group to start over and call her when they reach a consensus.
