Which of the following is a Golden assessment rule?

• A. Systems are your friend
• B. Kiss
• C. Look for big limitations and big asymmetries
• D. Golden assessment rules

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing a self-describing rule: a Golden assessment rule is a guideline that is itself identified as a Golden rule. The statement that literally says “Golden assessment rules” matches what the question is asking for, so it’s the best fit. The other lines describe useful heuristics (like keeping things simple or looking for big limitations and asymmetries) but they don’t claim to be Golden rules, so they don’t fulfill the prompt as directly. In practice, Golden rules are treated as the most trusted, overarching guidelines, and this option uniquely names itself as such.
