A bank deploys a system that stores rules from loan specialists and, given an applicant's profile, recommends approval or rejection with reasons, imitating a human expert. Which classification is most accurate?

The system is an Expert System, a knowledge-based system, because it encodes specialist rules in a knowledge base and uses an inference engine to recommend decisions with reasons, mimicking human expertise rather than just producing routine reports.
