Answer 1

C. Problem-cause-solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A problem-cause-solution pattern is an approach of critical thinking that is factual and evaluative. The pattern is used in presentations, writing case studies, and scientific reports. Academicians and business people use this pattern in submitting their proposals.

The pattern first defines the problems. Analysis and diagnosis then follow. The stage involves an evaluation of processes and causes that contribute to the problem. Lastly, the pattern suggests solutions to the discussed challenges.
