a. programmed decisions; they are novel and complex

b. nonprogrammed decisions; they are novel and complex

c. programmed decisions; they are can be solved using rules and procedures

d. nonprogrammed decisions; they are novel and complex

e. none of the above is correct

The Question given is incomplete so from the internet the complete question is as follows:

Health Day Regional Medical center's management team has several decisions to make. They are attempting to sort out what to do first. The decisions are as follows:

3. Decide which candidates will meet the requirements for the nursing training program.

4. Determine weather the medical center should diversify into more advanced (and substantially more costly ) technologies.

Decisions 1 and 3 are both decisions because .

A. Programmed decisions; they are novel and complex

B. Non programmed decisions; they are novel and complex  

C. Programmed decisions; they are can be solved using rules and procedures

D. Non programmed decisions; they are novel and complex

E. None of the above is correct

Option C is the correct answer.

Decisions 1 and 3 are both Programmed decisions because they can be solved using rules and procedures .

Explanation:

Programmed Decisions can be defined as the ones that are specified and developed for routine problems that are repetitive. These decisions deal with certainty.

Now from the given list of decisions, it is obvious that the decision 1 and 3 are programmed.
