Answer 1

A. Consists of constructing a hierarchy of criteria and subcriteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Analytical Hierarchy process was developed by Thomas Saaty for use by organizations seeking to make very complex decisions. The first step in this approach involves the breakdown of the problem into criteria and sub-criteria. The reason for this breakdown is to ensure a smoother analysis of the problem.

After these alternatives are developed comparisons are made of the different criteria using data obtained from them or human reasoning and perceptions. The next step is the compilation of the numerical probability of the alternatives which is a rigorous process.
