Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the cell CC, A2 chooses Strategy 2 (bottom row) and A1 chooses Strategy 2 (right column). This gives A2 a payoff of 4, which is the value in that cell. Therefore, the answer is D.

As for the best choice, it depends on what each player wants to achieve. If both players are trying to maximize their own payoff, then A2 should choose Strategy 2 regardless of what A1 chooses. However, if both players are trying to cooperate and maximize their combined payoff, then they should both choose Strategy 1 (top row and left column), which gives them a combined payoff of 3.
