    • Constraint

    • Parameter

    • Target

    Correct Answer
    A. Constraint
    Explanation
    A constraint is a term that describes a limitation or requirement placed on a cell value used in an Excel Solver problem. Constraints are used to restrict the possible values that a cell can take in order to find the optimal solution to a problem. In the context of an Excel Solver problem, a constraint can be used to set boundaries on variables, such as limiting the range of possible values or specifying that a certain condition must be met. Constraints help to define the problem and guide the Solver in finding the best solution within the given limitations.

The Goal Seek command allows you to find the input value needed in one of the other cells in order to achieve a desired result in the formula cell. Therefore, the cell where the formula is entered is the correct location for applying the Goal Seek command.
