C. Not binding

D. Conditional

Correct Answer :

B. Binding


Cooperative Game? There are two main branches of game theory i.e. cooperative games and non-cooperative games. A game in which players can enforce contracts through third parties is a cooperative game. A game is cooperative if the players are able to form binding commitments. For instance the legal system requires them to adhere to their promises. A cooperative game is a game where groups of players (coalitions) may enforce cooperative behavior, hence the game is a competition between coalitions of players, rather than between individual players. An example is a coordination game, when players choose the strategies by a consensus decision-making process.}
