  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?
