Selected Answer: C
Why the others are incorrect: A. Least cost Used when price is the primary selection criterion (e.g., buying standardized products from multiple vendors). B. Qualifications only Used when selecting a vendor solely based on expertise and experience, usually for professional services — no price comparison initially. D. Fixed budget Used when the buyer tells vendors what the budget is and selects the best solution within that limit.

Selected Answer: C
Qualifications only requires a short list to select a seller using a qualification, experience, etc. Sole Source makes more sense as there is no other competitors in the question
