Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Since the city manager is familiar with the specifications needed but has to choose a new supplier from a limited set of options, this situation calls for limited decision making. This process involves a moderate amount of effort and time for researching and comparing alternatives, which is more than routine decision making but less than extensive decision making.
