Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Internet helps Randall in making a decision by providing him coupons to various stores, which is a characteristic of a decision support system. It is not a transaction-processing system as it does not involve processing of transactions. It is not a management information system as it does not provide information to help manage resources, and it is not an expert system or an artificial intelligence system as it is not providing specialized knowledge or decision-making abilities beyond what is available through coupons.
