The correct answer is a defined process. A good example of a defined process is a construction project: the materials are known and understood, and the approach to the solution is known. The other responses are incorrect: an empirical
process is one where learning happens throughout the project, and the path is uncertain; an exemplified process is nearly identical to an empirical process, which this approach is not; because they are opposing process types, there’s
no such thing as a mix of empirical and defined processes.
