Let’s analyze the DMN table shown in the image:
Rule 1: If weight ≤15, size ≤50, and distance ≤10 → use Normal bicycle
Rule 2: If weight is between 15 and 60 kg, size ≤150, and distance ≤25 → use Electric cargo bike
Rule 3: Otherwise → use Electric van
Now consider the options:
A: Incorrect — parcel size is not the only determining factor for using electric vans; it's about weight, size, and distance combined.
B: Incorrect — normal bicycles are used only when weight ≤15 kg, size ≤50 cm, and distance ≤10 km — so not just “short trips.”
C: Incorrect — electric cargo bikes are explicitly used for short trips (≤25 km), per Rule 2.
D: Correct — based on the rules, any weight above 15 kg (and up to 60 kg) results in the use of electric cargo bikes. So if weight >50 kg (but ≤60), cargo bike is still used under the conditions of Rule 2.
Therefore, the most consistent interpretation of the decision model is:
Answer: D. When the weight of the parcel exceeds 50kg then the electric cargo bike is necessarily used
