    Solution

    A Decision Support System (DSS) is specifically designed to aid managers in decision-making by analyzing large datasets and generating reports or recommendations. It helps in solving complex problems by providing relevant information and modeling tools. a) TPS processes day-to-day transactions but does not support decision-making. c) Expert Systems are designed to mimic human expertise in specific areas. d) EIS provides high-level overviews for executives but is less analytical than DSS. e) MIS supports regular business operations and management but lacks the analytical depth of DSS.
