What is rational at any given time depends on?
a) The performance measure that defines the criterion of success
b) The agent’s prior knowledge of the environment
c) The actions that the agent can perform
d) All of these

d

Explanation: For each possible percept sequence, a rational agent should select an action that is expected to maximize its performance measure, given the evidence provided by the percept sequence and whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.
