How is the option selected when no majority is available?

By flipping a coin
The project manager decides
The option with the greatest number of votes
Canceling the project

The correct answer is: The option with the greatest number of votes

When no majority is available, it means that there is no clear consensus among the group. If the decision needs to be made quickly and unanimously, flipping a coin (A) or leaving it up to the project manager (B) may appear to be the most efficient options. However, these methods do not properly take into account the input and opinions of all members involved, potentially leading to decisions that are not beneficial for everyone. Canceling the project (D) would also not be a suitable option as it does not solve the problem of not having a clear majority decision. Therefore, the best course of action would be to select the option with the greatest number of votes (C), as it takes into consideration the perspectives of the majority while still allowing for some compromise and inclusivity.
