D
Insight
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -heuristic a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heuristics are simple, thinking strategies that allow us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently. Heuristics are less time consuming, but more error-prone than algorithms. Heuristics make it easier for us to use simple principles to arrive at solutions to problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heuristics, or “rules of thumb, ” are problem-solving methods that are based on practical experience and knowledge. They allow you to use a “quick fix” to solve a minor problem or to narrow down options. They’re also a great starting point for brainstorming or exploring new ideas.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first three heuristics – availability, representativeness, and anchoring and adjustment – were identified by Tverksy and Kahneman in their 1974 paper, “Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases”.

Detailed explanation-5: -Heuristics is the process by which humans use mental short cuts to arrive at decisions. Heuristics are simple strategies that humans, animals, organizations, and even machines use to quickly form judgments, make decisions, and find solutions to complex problems.
