Strategies, such as framing, that are used for simplifying decision making are known as ___.

A) algorithmics
B) statistics
C) data mining
D) optimizing strategies
E) heuristics

Heuristics are mental shortcuts or simplified strategies used to make decisions. Framing is one popular heuristic where individuals make a decision based on the way the decision is presented or framed to them. Option A, B, and D refer to specific methods or techniques that can be used to analyze data or optimize decisions, but do not specifically relate to simplifying decision making. Option C, data mining, involves analyzing large sets of data to uncover patterns, relationships, or insights. This may help in decision making but is not a simplification strategy in itself.
