Answer 1

B) bounded rationality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bounded rationality refers to a situation where an individual must make a decision but the information he/she possesses is limited and incomplete. This limitation may result from not receiving enough information or not being able to process all the information that was received.

In this case, Christin must make a decision but she doesn't have all the information that she would like have or needs in order to choose correctly.

Answer 2

The correct option is B, bounded rationality

Step-by-step explanation:

An ethical dilemma occurs when there is a conflict between one's interest and the interest of the organization leaving one with making choices between serving in the interest one the company or feathering one's nest.

Groupthink implies giving credence to the decision of a group over individual's thinking and creativity.

Bounded rationality is theme that was introduced by Herbert Simon which refers to the fact that making a rational decision is sometimes limited to the information at one's disposal as well as one's mental prowess.
