A
go forward with his plans to produce the device and use it to supply water to arid regions

redesign the device without the solar panel so that it plugs into an electrical outlet
c.
throw out his design and research alternative methods of supplying water to arid regions
D.
prioritize his design criteria and make trade-offs to reduce the overall cost of the device

Answer 1

Answer:

After constructing a prototype of the device, the student concludes that in many regions the monetary cost of building and installing the  device would be higher than the cost of acquiring water from other sources. Which of the following would be most appropriate for the  student to do next?

Explanation:

Because of cost implication, the device is redesigned in order to use other source rather than water which would be cost-effective and generally accepted for use.

Answer 2

Answer:

prioritize his design criteria and make trade-offs to reduce the overall cost of the device
