I'm voting for C. All three test cases seem to be in line with the decision table. Unless the company has a secret 'No Fuel Expenses for Employees' policy, of course.

This decision table is a work of art! I bet the person who made it has a PhD in Fuel Expense Management. Very thorough and precise.

I'm not sure about Test Case 1. Shouldn't the company at least allow some kind of claim, even if it's not the full amount? Seems a bit harsh to completely disallow it.

Yeah, it would be more fair to allow some kind of claim, even if it's not the full amount.

Test Case 2 is valid because the employee drives a 1700cc diesel car, which falls under band C for expense claims.

Test Case 1 seems too strict. Maybe they should allow a partial claim instead of none at all.

Test Case 2 is definitely valid. Why would the company not accept fuel expenses for a diesel car? That's just common sense.
