In the​ prisoners' dilemma​ game, each player​ _______. A. chooses the best outcome for the other player B. chooses the best outcome for both players together C. chooses the best outcome for himself D. consults the other player to determine his best action

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The prisoner's dilemma game is a concept in the game theory. According to this concept, two prisoners who earlier agreed on mutual cooperation will choose the outcome they think is best for themselves. This will eventually lead to a loss for both of them.

That is their individual rational decision will lead to collective irrationality because of noncooperation.
