The decision-making strategy described is elimination by aspects, which involves eliminating alternatives that do not meet a minimum threshold on a specific attribute. This is a common approach to decision-making when there are multiple criteria to consider and the decision-maker wants to simplify the decision process. The other options listed (purely additive, weighted additive, and representativeness heuristic) do not involve eliminating alternatives based on a minimum criterion on a specific attribute.
