I vaguely recall something about looking for appropriate solutions being a key part of the process, so maybe C is the one that doesn't fit.

I think we had a practice question about constraints in design thinking, and it was considered important, so A doesn't seem like the answer.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like being empathetic to customers is always emphasized, so B seems unlikely to be the right choice.

I'm a little confused by this question. Aren't all of these practices considered desirable in design thinking? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the key principles. Hopefully, I can figure this out.

Okay, I've got this. Design thinking is all about being open-minded, iterative, and user-focused. Making design choices too early would go against that approach, so the answer must be D. I feel confident about this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know design thinking emphasizes empathy and exploring the problem space, but I can't quite remember if making early design choices is considered a good or bad practice. I'll have to think this through carefully.
