Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The next level below the ultimate goal in the AHP decision tree includes all the primary criteria the manager considers important in reaching the goal. This is because the AHP method focuses on breaking down complex decisions into smaller, more manageable components, and identifying the primary criteria is an essential step in the process of decision making. The other choices (B, C, and D) are not relevant to this stage of the process.
