[Year 12 IT Apps] Question about practice exam from Potts text

[Quentin Lydall]

I agree. C.  Expert could be right but it needs to be re-worded to imply
a specific subject that the data relates to.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Question about practice exam from Potts text

 

Hi everyone

 

My kids are doing the practice exam from the Potts textbook (its on the
website, in student resources).  One of the multiple questions reads as
follows:

 

9.  A computer system designed to analyse data and produce a
recommendation or a decision is

a/an

a. Transaction Processing System

b. Management Information System

c. Decision Support System

d. Expert System

The answer given is D.  I think this is wrong, it should be C.  What do
others think?
