Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-binding constraints are the constraints that are not at their limits at the optimal solution of a linear program. Their left-hand-side value is less than the right-hand-side value, indicating that they do not play an active role in determining the solution. In contrast, binding constraints are at their limits and determine the feasibility of the solution. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
