—What is meant by the term ‘ligand’

Know what is meant by the term ‘ligand’.

Use —what is meant by the term ‘ligand’ to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —what is meant by the term ‘ligand’ determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
