Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The use of heuristics rather than algorithms is most likely to
A
save time in arriving at solutions to problems.
B
avoid the issue of functional fixedness.
C
yield more accurate solutions to problems.
D
involve greater reliance on language skills.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While algorithms provide step-by-step procedures that can guarantee solutions, heuristics are faster and provide shortcuts for getting to solutions, though this has the potential to cause errors.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main advantage of adopting a heuristic approach is that it offers a quick solution, which is easy to understand and implement. Heuristic algorithms are practical, serving as fast and feasible short-term solutions to planning and scheduling problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heuristics are mental shortcuts that allow people to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently. These rule-of-thumb strategies shorten decision-making time and allow people to function without constantly stopping to think about their next course of action.
