C)the decision variables are set at either maximum or minimum values.
D)the units of measurement on both sides of the constraint match.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The units of measurement on both sides of the constraint must match to ensure that the constraint is mathematically and physically meaningful. A and C are not correct because they do not pertain to formulating constraints. B is incorrect because inequalities are often part of constraints, such as "less than or equal to" or "greater than or equal to" constraints.
