Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The method of equal alternatives is best used when there is no reason to believe any outcome is more likely than the others. In the case of a cow facing a random direction (east, west, north, or south), assuming no other influencing factors, each direction is equally likely, making this scenario suitable for the method of equal alternatives.
