A Correct answer
Explanation

A graduated discount rate (where different purchase thresholds trigger different discount percentages) is best implemented as a rule set. Rule sets can contain multiple rules with conditions and actions, allowing for complex logic like 'if purchases > \$1000 then discount = 10%, else if > \$500 then discount = 5%'. Decision tables are better for uniform condition-action matrices, not graduated logic.
