Question

a rational person is one who
is reasonable.
makes choices that are easily understood.
possesses well - defined goals and seeks to achieve them.
believes the claims made by infomercials.
is highly cynical.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of a rational person. In economics (a subfield of Business) and related social science contexts, a rational person is defined as someone who has clear, well - defined goals and takes actions to achieve them.

• The option "is reasonable" is too vague and does not capture the economic definition of rationality.
• "makes choices that are easily understood" is incorrect because rationality is about achieving one's own goals, not about being understandable to others.
• "believes the claims made by infomercials" is irrational as it involves uncritical acceptance of potentially misleading information.
• "is highly cynical" has nothing to do with the standard definition of rationality.

So the correct option is the one that states a rational person possesses well - defined goals and seeks to achieve them.

Answer:

C. possesses well - defined goals and seeks to achieve them.
