Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A complex decision tree can have multiple branches and decision points, resulting in a large number of possible paths to reach the final outcome. Thousands of possible paths are a realistic possibility in such situations. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest a limited number of paths, while option D is incorrect as a decision tree cannot have an infinite number of paths.
