Which of the following statements about design is true?
- A. The best designs are the result of a singular creative genius.
- B. The goal of any designer is to find the single best solution.
- C. Designs must satisfy many objectives.
- D. The best design will always satisfy all of the objectives.
- E. None of the above statements is true.

Find out the correct statement about design out of the given statements.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct statement is, “C. Designs must satisfy many objectives”.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The option (a) deals with the idea that the best designs are an outcome of singular creative geniuses. Creativity however is usually associated with teamwork as in case of team there are varieties of options and ideas available. Hence the option (a) is incorrect.
The second statement states that “The goal of any designer is to find the single best solution”. However this is not true as there is no single best solution for any problem. There are in general many ways to approach a given problem. So in order to get the most suitable solution the design criteria is used to choose the best solution. Hence the option (b) is incorrect.
The third statement states that “Design must satisfy the many objectives”. This statement is correct as a given design should be able to fulfill all the given requirements.
The fourth statement is “The best design will always satisfy all of the objectives”.
This statement is found to be incorrect as the best design will not satisfy all of the objectives instead will satisfy the objectives which are more important in comparison to the other options. Therefore the option (d) is incorrect.
The fifth statement states “None of the above statements is true”. This statement is incorrect as one of the given options is found to be correct.
Hence with respect to the above given observations it is concluded that the correct option is (c).
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct statement is, “C. Designs must satisfy many objectives”.
