What does the Analytic Solver Platform default integer tolerance factor of 0 accomplish?
A)Stops B & B after 100% of all solutions are examined.
B)Stops B & B when any feasible ILP solution is 0% from the current ILP solution.
C)Stops B & B when the true optimal integer solution has been found.
D)Stops B & B when no more than 0% of the changing cells have integer values.

The default integer tolerance factor of 0 in the Analytic Solver Platform means that the software will stop the branch and bound (B&B) algorithm when the true optimal integer solution has been found. This is because the integer tolerance factor represents the maximum allowable difference between a fractional solution and the nearest integer solution. Since the default is set to 0, any fractional solution must be exactly equal to an integer solution to be considered feasible. Therefore, when the B&B algorithm reaches a solution that meets this requirement, it is the true optimal integer solution and the algorithm stops. Options A, B, and D are not accurate descriptions of the default integer tolerance factor of 0.
