Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bounded rationality occurs when we make decisions based on limited information. It may lead to suboptimal decisions as it only considers some available options. The bounded rationality model is a way of thinking about decision-making that considers the limits of our rationality.

Detailed explanation-2: -The limitations that humans face which prevent fully rational decision making are: 1) information that is often incomplete, imperfect or unreliable, 2) a limited cognitive ability to retain and process relevant information, and 3) a limited amount of time in which to make any decision.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Bounded Rationality? Bounded rationality is a human decision-making process in which we attempt to satisfice, rather than optimize. In other words, we seek a decision that will be good enough, rather than the best possible decision.

Detailed explanation-4: -Individuals are limited by the information they have in order to make a decision in the decision-making process due to the limitation of the rationality of individuals. Bounded rationality is the idea that when individuals make decisions, their rationality is limited by the available information.
