Size of family 2. Budget 3. Number of earners in the family 4. Food allergies and dietary restrictions Select the answer using the code given below.

  1. A.1 and 3
  2. B.1, 2 and 4✓ Correct
  3. C.1 and 2 only
  4. D.2 and 3

Explanation

For assessing feasibility of a family-oriented vacation resort, Size of family (1) directly determines room configurations, pricing tiers, and target demographics. Budget (2) is essential to gauge what visitors are willing to spend, which determines viability and price-point design. Food allergies and dietary restrictions (4) inform menu planning and food-service infrastructure — vital for a resort. Number of earners in the family (3) is intrusive private financial data that visitors are unlikely to share on-location and is not directly necessary because budget already captures spending capacity. Hence the appropriate heads are 1, 2 and 4.
