Which of the following questions is most helpful for understanding the root cause of a problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Why do you think so, and what is the reason behind it?
Option A is open-ended and asks the person to explain both their view and the reasons behind it. Such an answer can reveal assumptions, evidence, experiences, and the underlying cause that a simple yes-or-no response may hide. The other questions may be useful for limited checks, but they do not invite enough explanation to diagnose the root problem.
