What is a majority decision?

1. A single person deciding

2. Less than 50% agreement

3. More than 50% criteria for voting

4. A consensus among team members

The correct answer is: More than 50% criteria for voting

A majority decision refers to a situation where more than 50% of the criteria for voting or opinions agree on a particular option or outcome. This implies that the option with the most support, exceeding half of the total criteria or opinions, is considered the majority decision. This distinguishes it from the other options provided: - Option A: A single person deciding does not involve a collective agreement and does not require more than 50% support. - Option B: Less than 50% agreement does not constitute a majority decision as it lacks the necessary threshold of support. - Option D: A consensus among team members implies full agreement by all team members, which is a higher level of agreement than a simple majority decision.
