Systems’ thinking is a unique approach to problem solving, in that it views certain ‘problems’ as a part of the overall system so focusing on these outcomes will only further develop the undesired element or problem. Systems’ thinking is a framework that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system will act differently when the systems relationships are removed and it is viewed in isolation. ___________________________________.

Correct answer

Systems’ thinking tries to solve a problem by trying to understand the part in relation to the whole.

Step-by-step solution

Option D is the only statement that completely relates to the paragraph which states ‘unique approach to problem solving’.&

Other options would have sufficed if in addition to what they are stating now they also included ‘problem solving’.

Moreover, option E goes irrelevant in the context.&

Clearly, option D is the correct answer.
