SUVIKALP ranks repurposing options using a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making method based on which technique?
- A.TOPSIS
- B.SWOT analysis
- C.Monte Carlo simulation
- D.Linear regression
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is TOPSIS, which expands to Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. The platform uses it to evaluate and rank the possible new uses of a mined-out site, because it lets several parameters be weighed together and produces recommendations that are consistent and based on evidence rather than opinion. Option B is a planning aid rather than a ranking technique, and it cannot order alternatives numerically. Option C is a method for handling uncertainty through repeated random sampling, and Option D is a statistical tool for fitting relationships between variables; neither is the ranking engine described here. The assessment that uses this technique moves from factor selection to generation of options, integration of community priorities, suitability assessment and final ranking.
