Answer: B
Decision trees use questionnaires to lead a user through a
series of choices until a conclusion is reached. Rules refer
to the expression of declarative knowledge through the use
of if-then relationships. Semantic nets consist of a graph
in which nodes represent physical or conceptual objects and
the arcs describe the relationship between the nodes.
Semantic nets resemble a data flow diagram and make use of
an inheritance mechanism to prevent duplication of data.
