The correct answer is D. Project 4. In a weighted scoring model, each project is evaluated against a set of criteria, and each criterion has an assigned weight. The priority score for each project is calculated by multiplying each criterion's score by its weight, then summing the results. Based on the scoring…

Explanation
In a weighted scoring model, each project is evaluated against a set of criteria, and each criterion has an assigned weight. The priority score for each project is calculated by multiplying each criterion's score by its weight, then summing the results. Based on the scoring matrix shown in the figure (not reproduced here), Project 4 yields the highest total weighted score across all criteria, giving it the highest priority ranking. This model ensures that more strategically important criteria (higher weights) have a proportionally greater influence on the final ranking.
