Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Question about practice exam from Potts text

Hi everyone

My kids are doing the practice exam from the Potts textbook (its on the website, in student resources).  One of the multiple questions reads as follows:


9.  A computer system designed to analyse data and produce a recommendation or a decision is

a/an

a. Transaction Processing System

b. Management Information System

c. Decision Support System

d. Expert System

The answer given is D.  I think this is wrong, it should be C.  What do others think?
