Answer:

Conrad is using the "Conjunctive" decision rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

In using the conjunctive decision rule, a consumer sets minimum requirement levels for each characteristic of a product (such as battery life, or weight) he considers important.

If a product doesn't measure up to the minimum requirement level for any of the characteristics, then such a product is rejected.
