Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State variables in a shortest-route problem represent the locations in the network. This allows the problem to be represented as a graph, where the nodes are the locations and the edges are the connections between them. The state variables will contain information about the current location and the distance or cost of reaching that location from the starting point. Choices A and C are incorrect as decisions and minimum distance between nodes are not state variables in this context.
